I found some NZ-1 and NZ-2 coil winders on eBay, the NZ-2 is $177.00+ 22 bucks to ship and the NZ-1 is $38 bucks some are shipped free. The origin is China but here in the U.S.🇺🇲 a few companies have them available. I play with Crystal Radio sets and Ham radio so definitely buying an NZ-2 For inductor coils. Wrapping 500 turn coils is for the birds! Great video, thanks for sharing!
the only thing that would have made this video better, is if you winded a spool to show the results. What I like about you is, you don't only stop at functional, you take those extra steps and make it match the original parts. i happened on your channel just yesterday, and I'm really liking the wide variety you do, AND lol you seem to have lots of toys.
Such a tease, looking forward to seeing it in action. I like the idea of indicating the direction for loosening and tightening the bench drill chuck, I tend to forget and it's a USB plug situation of trying both ways.
Mark l have been watching your videos for a little time and enjoying them very much it looks like you are a very clever man and a tidy person but when I saw your lathe oh my goodness me Swarf all over please tell me you don’t leave it like that I remember seeing this winding machine some time ago and I thought it was a very old bit of kit but no well into part two of the homemade Brew choke winding 😊
In his day, my Dad (a tool maker) used an odometer out of a scrapped Austin 1300 estate and a hand drill to count the turns on wound components in a hand made oscilloscope project he was working on.
Cut a plastic spacer tube to take up most of the space between the bobbin and threaded collar would save spinning the collar clear down the threaded part. Glad I found these videos. I've been looking for a bobbin winder for my vintage braiding machine and haven't found anything that wasn't a super-expensive industrial unit. The NZ-2 will do nicely.
Machinist here, just curious why you didn't tap the part in the lathe? It definitely appeared to be having trouble staying square to the hole! Also, seems like you were running too high an RPM with not enough feedrate. That HSS tool was struggling! Just wanna say I enjoy the videos. I don't know much about how electrical stuff works, but you've inspired me to do some reading on the subject and pick up a multimeter and soldering set up!
It’s a 3 part ‘Chemical Blacking Kit’, which I found on eBay. There’s a bottle of Alkaline cleaner, Blacking solution & Dewatering oil. Very easy to use - works just as you saw in the video (I mean, I didn’t edit it to look easy). 😁
Thats not cheating but its the right way to make it Next time you could place the tap in the drill Chuck mounted very loose in the tail stock Turn the lathe in low speed and hold the Chuck by hand If you are deep enough or at the end just let it slip in yourhand That way the thread is always str8 Best wishes
As an American who is cursed with the US Standard system of measurement I want to compliment you on your passive aggressive comments regarding imperial measurement. Maybe one day the shame will get us to finally start using metric. The irony is we are officially a metricated economy. Metric is used everywhere in industry and science here, just not at the pedestrian level. We even changed our imperial standards to be based on metric equivalents so the only thing imperial about our system is the nomenclature.
Imperial is not a "US standard system". The entire planet uses imperial and metric.. Quite the self deprecating behavior. Can't imagine dealing with you in any capacity.
Great, love it. Ur channel more than just electronics but also mechanical. Saw your lathe machine very massy and dirty...🙁 not properly organized. Thats very contrast to your electronic bench.
What a pleasant surprise after having stumbled onto your channel. You fix electronics and are a machinist. Two of my favorite subjects in one channel.
It was emotional.
Just a correction standard coarse is M6X1

Big Trak! Big Trak! Big Trak! One of my best christmases ever! 1982 ish? Most awesome toy!
Great videos. When using the lathe, try to move the toolpost so you have much less tool stick out and you’ll get a much better surface finish.
I have a much more manual winder.....but I love the ability to traverse back and forth to spread equally the winding layers of your unit.
Now you need to do a shop tour of all those cool machines.

You have got the BEST playroom
Vid gave me a lot of My Mechanics vibes.

Nice job Mark
As always, entertaining, educational and nice work.
Thanks!!
What was the chemicals? I want to try that my self..

The "blueing" agent is Oxpho-Blue Professional Grade Cold Blue
I miss you please back!
Huh?
Thats not cheating but its the right way to make it
Next time you could place the tap in the drill Chuck mounted very loose in the tail stock
Turn the lathe in low speed and hold the Chuck by hand

busman's holiday said the guy who programs industrial winding machine HMI and PLC's. Pretty thing

токарные навыки конечно надо совершенствовать и резцы затачивать учиться
Nice option,…but I think I would have modded an old sewing machine into a mini winder

I’ve never seen a clean lathe. I last tried to clean it during the pandemic lockdown. Soon got bored…😆
Cool to watch I s'pose. Most of us don't have a lathe
Ahem, sewing machines are already set up to wind bobbins lol.
