Help with wire making.

[JoeMac]

I'm having some difficulty with making 3 core fused claptons. No matter how much care I take setting up the cores, ensuring they are flat & parallel from swivels to the drill they always end up bunching up once claptoned. Any pointers would be much appreciated.

Lots of tension on the drill and use paper clips spaced every so often to keep the cores from bunching up as well as a little tape on both ends. Good luck you will get it it just takes practice

Thanks @volnavy80 I think my problem was not enough tension on the drill. Thankfully wire is cheap!
