RE: [TCML] winding secondary coils



Hi list,
I am pretty lucky in the way that I work for a contracting company, in the Electrical department, which is about ten metres from the Machine shop. I was able to borrow a lathe with an auto-feed feature. It took about 15 minutes to wind 1056 turns on 6" form with the help of a homemade wire spool holder / constant tension rig I knocked up. If you know anyone with a lathe, this is a quick and easy way to wind. . .
 
 
Regards,
 
Matt Reid
