Wrapping Coils

[bman1977]

So I've been wrapping my own coils and eveything is working out great. The only question I have is how do you get it off this thing without distorting the legs? I have to always play with it once I get it off and straighten the legs out. If this sounds confusing sorry.

Hey bman!

I have a similar one, and on mine, the spindle comes out of the piece with the sizes marked (i.e. 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40) The coil should slide right off then without distortion.

Psst, wrap one extra loop
Clip the wire at the edge of the exit hole
Unwrap the extra loop from the clipped end and install

I bend out the leg where the wire goes through the hole. Then I unscrew the cap and slide out the coil post. Then the coil is removed very easily. I then flip the side where the coil leg has a bend. Put it back on the post, and smash it together. Both legs are perfectly even.

I unscrew the part that says coilmaster and the coil just calls out. I also wrap on extra time to pull a wrap off so my legs are perfect on the coil.

I do it exactly the same way.

I use a different wider tool.. Search Artistic coil gizmo. Mine is home-made has 3 ID Options 2mm, 2.5mm and 2.75mm. Not a good pic but you get the idea. That is a BBQ Skewer, approx 7/64(2.75mm) and a 2x2.

I can make spaced coils and PINCHLESS contact coils, tensioned or not. just a matter of resistance(weight) on the wire and angle of the rod. Coils are Perfect every time, legs are always straight, clean and point where you want them.
