[QUOTE="Cyborg, post: 173138, member: 3426"] Although… couldn’t you grab the the end of the coil between 2 jaws on a 4 jaw chuck and just use the other 2 jaws to steady it. Engage the back gears so it won’t launch itself. It would take longer to wind, but maybe save time with setup? Hard to say I guess, without seeing what the separated coils look like. By the way, best to avoid machining the Cerrobend itself due to the recipe….50% bismuth, 26.7% pb, 13.3% tin, and 10% cadmium by weight. To release the object from the Cerrobend, I just place it in a pot of hot water. Once the water cools, you can retrieve the Cerrobend. In your case you’d have to keep the water level below the windings as far as possible. Hope I’m not leading you astray here. You can probably find a few uses for the stuff. There is also Cerrosafe which has a misleading name because it ain’t safe. It’s good for measuring things, but I haven’t tried it yet. [/QUOTE]
