Description

Winding wire on a mandrel in a metal lathe. The wire is 18 gauge (0.0472") galvanized mild steel. The mandrel is a piece of 1/4" high-carbon (but unhardened) steel rod. I wind at about 100 rpm while close to the chuck, and then increase to about 300 rpm after I'm well clear of it. My other hand (not shown) is poised above the emergency stop button!
