hi flux .thanks again for the good advice .
after much thinking about what you said .the wire could have been a bit more heavy.
i wound a coil from 14awg .i put 55 turns on it.
the legs were a bit thin and coil wasent at full size.
but as it happend i had enough wire to make a new coil using 12awg.
but first i must explain about the wire .
its 14swg flat or maybe can be called oval.
its to a military spec and the enamel is verry good.
so its .062thu wide - .048thu thick.
or 1.68mm wide - and 1.26mm thick.
one meter will weigh 28 grams.
i am not trying to confuse you with all this. just trying to help you understand
about the wire i have.
so i wanted to try wind a coil to see if it was possible to make one from this flat
wire.
also a few pics .
i dont think you will need the pics as your exppearances can tell you without them
but have added them anyway.
so what i have now is one coil at 40 turns .its 224 grams in weight.
it comes inside the coil size ok. the legs arent to thick less than 3/4" each.
with a bit practise i could wind them neater. for the 2x1 mags.
its possible there's to much wire there .
now i need to ask you. can i make six coils from this flat wire.
i think it will alter the cut in speed. so could you explain what i will be looking
for as to cut in speed- number of turns per coil.
this is new wire . i can make six coils for £15.00 .
but as i only have one i need to order the rest of it.
if i said i had a good feeling about this wire. it might just make me happy.
as to whether it will make for a better mill im not sure.
in the other reply to you i said spring is in the air.
now its snowing and i am sneezing . i spoke to soon.
its a ill wind that dos no good
