RE: [TCML] Secondary winding jig

Here's what I built:

http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=drsstc#p/u/29/QYHdSfdGMMs

Can wind up to 28" diameter coil,  has variable speed VSD drive, 0 to 2 revs
per second (adjustable on the fly), footswitch controlled FWD/REV/JOG/STOP,
turns counter, gobs of arm-twisting torque, and can be left on overnight for
drying varnish, portable but very heavy, extension arm can be installed
(like a receiver hitch on a truck) for very long coils as well. 

I wound a 6" OD, 28" long coil with #31awg in about 1/2hr (not including
set-up time) and a 20"OD, 42" long coil with #20awg in about the same amount
of time.

If you're in the area....needs to be used more often, makes winding a real
pleasure!

Nice set up for winding , as said before it would be a little fast for me
with a 8 tube. I must ask the green stuff, it would not be a product called
Ren 1220?

  Subject: [TCML] Secondary winding jig


  Here's my attempt at a secondary winding Jig.
<http://yfrog.com/n6coilwinderz>  I'm hoping to be able to wind up to an 8"
form on this.  The PVC on there now is 4" x 24".

  The motor is an Oriental Induction motor I got at a surplus store, and as
such it's not speed adjustable.  Though the torque is quite high - which
could be a downside if I wind up breaking wire - I'm hoping that by only
loosely afixing the PVC core to the rotating shaft (with masking tape) the
tape will give free before the wire breaks.  The gray PVC endcaps have been
turned on my lathe and fit pretty snugly, though they will slip.  Hoping
that will act as a "clutch".

  Never did this before, so this is a Version 1.0. 

  Cheers,
