I have discovered a great set of tools to make this process quick and easy!
?
Go to the QPRME website and click on Toroid EZ Tools in the sidebar.? Then read the documentation provided in the link.
?
While they seem a little pricey, $30.00, they make the task of winding a toroid SO MUCH EASIER!
?
The kit actually came with three tools to wind T25, T30, T37, T50, T80 and T105 toroids.

Dennis, a link please.

For the $30 you also get a selection of 50 toroids, so not a bad price.
In a pinch, could probably use a pair of springy forceps in a vice on small toroids,
Or cut something vaguely like what he has out of plastic or wood.
The really tough toroids are the ones that are completely full of wire
where this tool might not be such a good idea.? Solution then is to use a larger toroid
of the same core material, adjusting the number of turns to give the same inductance.

For many, the hard part isn't winding the toroid, it's keeping track of the counts. I rarely get phone calls, but when I do, it's while I'm winding a toroid. I just keep my camera handy and when I think I have it done, I take a picture, put it in Paint, increase its size, and then count the turns.

Currently it's $30 for just two of the winders, or $40 for the kit with two winders plus the toroids and a tuna can to?hold it all. At current pricing from kitsandparts, the toroids would cost $11.40 if you use the quantity 25 prices and divide down to quantity 10.

I use one of these to hold the toroid ? As long as you're careful they don't scratch the enamel.? They are nice and thin so you don't hog wire space.  --

Hello,
I¡¯ve always made the reels by hand. It takes a little agility.
Here is the first result on a double-sided circuit.
Then the 2nd version and the 3rd...
Only for reception; but planned for emission LOL.?

Fully wired, but abandoned because too much interference and interference. But it¡¯s beautiful.? LOL

You know, winding toroids never bothered me.

I don't mind winding them but striping the enamel insulation is a real PITA,

I'm looking at the plastic jig, and can't imagine I'm the only one thinking thats an easy fusion 360 (or similar software tool) design and 3D print. it even kinda looks like its a 3D printed piece.?

Mark,
?i do what lou does except just use a lighter. i put them on a vice which holds them with a rod,and burn the enamal off,then wipe them clean with alcohol

I still say doing that makes the room smell like feet. I prefer a box cutter and scraping or fine sandpaper.

Jack, it's not a problem when the room already smells like feet!??

My Knipex tool hasn¡¯t failed me yet. ?But I never had an issue using a #11 scalpel either. After office surgeries I would offer the patient their own scalpel for their tool box and if they declined I resterilized ?it and took it home to my tool box. Have enough of them to last a few life times. But love the ease of us with my Knipex tool.

The surface feels like it was 3D printed.? And, in my case, learning a new piece of software and recreating the design would take a LOT more time than just buying a set.
