Jeez..... sorry Don, I thought the cat was outta the bag !! Could you do the winding process in pics and narration. Will the video be out for next winder's project calendar.
Thx. Jay.

Oh man, I love these pics, and this thread!

The physics of this process aren't that complicated. Yer pics are great Don. Following right along. Even have some ideas for some tools I'll get made. Buddy with an EDM will help.

the thing I need to learn and actually understand is what's happening with the actual wire. Turns, strands, delta, wye.

I'm loving this too!

Yes the pics are really great, the write up was really nice as well. I can do this. It is a lot of work to tool all that up to the point you are at. I've got the lathe and other stuff and tricks as well using 1/8 rubber mat and large pliers.

A supplier of rotors would be nice but we haven't gone that far in here yet! lol... Don has tinkered with his own I see, very interesting!!

Maybe we could order form Castle's supplier in China.

I emailed an ebay store that advertised 4082 sized 6 pole SSS motors. I think it's a mistake but we will see. I know their 56mm motors are 6 pole.

Awesome!!!

What glue do you use to hold it in place when you re-assemble?

[donhuff]

Thin CA. I use that to hold the stator in. I get it in place in the case and install the rotor. The rotor will usually be strong enough to move the stator forward or back a little it it needs to. Then go through the air holes and wick CA between the stator and rotor. Doesn't take but a few drops and it's locked in place. Give it a minute to set then take the ends off and apply a few more drops on each end and your done.

Wow! Thanks Don!
