  • Racked coils; because of tension or wobble, or something else?

    I wound a couple of coils yesterday and they both have the same problem, they're racked. Is this because of a slight wobble in the winder or because of a variation in tension, or something else? Thanks.

    Your winder's mounting plate is not at a perfect 90 degree angle to the shaft. I sometimes use a business card shim.

      Thanks, Stan. I thought that was it, but since I wound two coils without breaking the wire I also suspected tension. I'll fix it before I wind any more.
