I finished the stator for the oddball and after it was poured I decided to add air vents in the center of the coils. Everything went great until I let the router slip and ruin a coil by eating through the wiring. On a regular poured stator the mistake would have ruined the stator, but with the design of the new one, the fix was easy. I was able to replace the coil in a couple of hours and every thing turned out  as if it had not been damaged. pepa

 Wax or silicon makes an easy job of that .I use plugs if thier made but silicon and a little waxed paper around the inside and save a little resin . Put just a dab on the wax paper strips and fill up the hole . Quite a bit to fill in the holes i guess but it pops right out if you leave holes in the fiber . It may be less time consuming to cut the fiber after its set and a little green.

Please tell us what those bolts in the center are for,(noticing the lack of on outer edge) Mr. Peppa

:hi Rodger, the bolts hold the stator in place and also are the adjustment for locating the stator in the air gap. http://oddball generator going together. have a good day pepa. thanks Tecker for the tip, i have done it both ways, but this time i got careless. pepa.

10.4 looks like a good job. That is much better than I could have done with a router . I tried to use a spirel cutter to dress up the outside with the same result ,cut and solder time .
