artistic wire gizmo

Anyone here use that thing?

Here's the link Amazon.com: Artistic Wire Coiling Gizmo(R) Deluxe Winder for Jewelry Making

I think I saw somewhere someone used this but was wondering if it's any good or worth it?

I bought one a while ago. For me personally, it was a waste of money.

If you are manually dexterous, then don't bother with it and just stick with drill bits. However, if you struggle with wrapping coils due to joint/muscle problems, then you can clamp the stand to the table and wrap away. In that case, it would probably be a huge help.

ok good to know. I've been doing them fine on drill bits.

It will allow you to keep the exact spacing between micro coils

I use one for micro coils 1/6in 9 wraps and get 1.8 ohms consitantly in pro tanks
But like said its best for those with shakey hands or problems with dextarity

It's only $7 on amazon. I might order just to check it out.

Thank you!

Get it. I have one and several Reonauts have them as well. You can literally crank out perfect micro coils in less than a minute. Regular, twisted, split coils and so on can all be done. And for 7 bucks it's cheap.

It was actually $5 at michaels. I printed out their 40% off coupon online and just went and bought it. I've seen some people on photos attaching a lugnut to it. I haven't taken out of the box but is this necessary? Will it work just as well without it?

Thank you!

It works with or without it

the nut just holds the end of the wire makeing it easier and faster to wrap

Well I went and bought it and just wrapped the wire around the end where it comes together. I made a coil in about 5 seconds which is a record time for me and they are perfectly spaced and perfectly aligned. Previously when doing it on a drill bit, they would start to go a little sideways so I'd say this was perfect for me since they are exactly perfect.

The other WIN about it was that my eyesight isn't that great so it was hard to see the coil I was wrapping on a drill bit and hold the coil tight at the same time. This was perfect, thanks!

You can also use a piece of tape.

I bought one and I am happier than a pig in slop. You can definitely put out some coils with it. I also got the lug net. Works great and saves a little wire also. Just saying!!

I have so much going on lately I haven't had a moment to run to home depot. I'm going to look on amazon. That makes my life a little bit easier. Do you know which lug nut it is?

 

[olefolks]

Just so happens I still have the Home Depot receipt, LOL. Mach screw, round, SS #6-32X1/2". Wing Nut SS #6-32. Washers-Flat SS #6.
Cost was $3.83. You get multiples of the screw and washer but just one wing nut. Hope this helps. Might be cheaper going to a hardware store. Just saying!!

Since you are in Dallas, I would go the Eliots Hardware.

Wow that is so awesome thank you! I'll run to home depot. I'm on the other side of town by White Rock Lake so Elliot's is somewhat a trek on the other side.
