RE: [TCML] Intro & Coil Winder
For coil-winders, if making them by hand, I find the best method is to use a pair of wooden cones which fit well on the shaft. You should be able to use a locking mechanism to hold them in place, so that forms of different lengths can be accommodated. Just my 0.02$.
Cheers,

I plan to redo the design, but I have no idea what the best method is, to hold the coil in place. Usually people just take a wood circle and press the coil together. Instead of what I did. Anyways, with the current setup i doubt i could even fit a 4.5" coil in it. I would like to have this be able to do many sizes, considering the fact this is a large winder...might as well use it for every size coil I can right? 58" coil at max will fit.

However i noticed the motor has been making different noises from when i last used it, hopefully i didnt deform any metal during the making, it still works, but it must last hours of rotation to coil, and MANY hours of drying time for the poly coating.

> > > Hello TCML members, I recently just joined and would like to introduce my self a little. My name is Justin, age 19, living in Michigan. I have been into coiling for about 2 years now, and I currently own a 12KV 60mA SGTC, a SSTC (both use 4.5 x 24" coils), and more recently, a DRSSTC (12 x 48) which is still in the making. Would like to start by showing the progress I have done with this DRSSTC, such as the winder. Will be fun putting 1 mile of 24awg green on this!
