Using 3/32" (.09375" or 2.381 mm) Harris 4043 aluminum wire to make the coil. A new drive, a new wire guide scheme, and a new wire transport are show here.
The 6" conduit used for this test is a brand X scrap piece rescued
from a junk pile.
Why Cantex ?
Why Cantex ?
Their material is UV-stabilized for weathering strength in the changing climate of Northern Ohio. It also machines and drills consistently. The dielectric constant is the same from piece to piece, and the Cantex compound resists chalking. I've filled a dumpster with look-alike parts that failed to survive the coiling process at some point.
