Use of extremely fine drawplate

Good morning everyone. I have used a great many drawplates in my time
and have recently acquired one that draws down to an extremely fine
diameter. I need a loupe to see the last few holes in the plate. Are
there any tricks to draw down wire this thin? I will be using 22k-24k
gold and fine silver. I am expecting to have difficulties keeping the
wire from breaking and even feeding it into the smaller holes of the
plate. Anyone have experience drawing very fine wire?

Thanks,
Fred
