iron rod
Greetings all;
McMaster Carr has iron rod: https://www.mcmaster.com/#iron-rods/=15cvokd
I went ahead and sprayed the toroid with motor insulating paint. Looked good until winding it damaged the fiberglass tape. Oh well, it protected the plastic wrapping on the toroid.
Was cold here and the 6 gauge wire didn't wrap well. Next time, I'll warm the wire and wrap it around some 4 inch PVC to get a better spiral before winding onto the toroid.
Will pick up a few more split bolt connectors tomorrow, and have a commutator and brushes coming from the place Cornboy posted. (Thanks CB!!)
My machinist is also looking for a good source for iron rod. One will show.
Good looking coils, MM. Reckon that winding machine is handy.
