Diamond 62G Matrice Bronze "Bucatini 4,5 Mm"

Bronze dies like this one shape the dough as it's forced through the extruder, and this listing covers Bucatini (4.5mm). It's a long tube pasta similar to a thick spaghetti but hollow through the centre, so sauce collects inside the tube as well as on the surface. Unlike Teflon dies, which push out a smooth, slick strand, bronze drags on the dough just enough to leave a matte, textured surface for sauce to grip. This code is one of several size options Diamond lists for the bucatini cut, so match it to your machine before you order. Weighing roughly 1kg, it comes with a one-year parts-only warranty from Diamond.
