Hi Steve Thanks for the input. If I break a wire during winding I would try to "side lap" the wires and try to solder. I was always concerned about whether the connecting was made. I had the beginning of the coil as one end for checking continuity. I would then go away from the joint and bare ,with heat, the wire to check for continuity. I have two types of magnet wire coatings, red and orange. The red appears to be easily removed with heat. the orange is more difficult. Do you have and suggestions on heat temp required for coating removal? I seem to remember it being mentioned in the recent past. The reason I was having problems with winding fine wire was one of two reasons. If one tries to allow the source spool to turn then inertia fluctuations from changes in rotational speed causes breaking. Secondly if I let the wire feed off the end of a stationary source coil then the wire seems to snag on adjacent windings of the source coil due to the steep angle as it comes off the coil.
