Re: stripping magnet wire



Original poster: "Barton B. Anderson" <bartb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi Justin,

I use a lighter and char about an inch of insulation, then lightly sand with emery cloth. The reason to "lightly" burn the insulation is that the insulation scrapes off easily without grinding the copper down (which becomes mechanically weak if too thin).

Take care,
Bart

Hi all,

I've never worked with magnet wire before...can anyone tell me the easiest way to
strip the insulation?


Thanks!
