Ed,
I do that kind of thing and have answered your question off list. I
would like to say that stainless steel is not a good choice for rotary
gap studs because as it erodes and burns away in operation on a rotary
gap, some very noxious compounds are produced because of the high
chromium content of the stainless.
Safe coiling,
