Unless you are a true glutton for self punishment --- don't try your own
spinning. It makes about as much sense as trying to build your own tires
for your car. Experience speaks here -- we picked up a spinning machine
and spent nearly 7 months perfecting the technique --- and it's far from
perfect at this time. After spinning there is the the precision welding
required and the final sanding. It is very very difficult and is probably
hands down the hardest thing to try to do if you are a self coil builder.
Makes caps isn't easy either but its childs play compared to spinning,
sanding, grinding, and welding to make an acceptable toroid.
