Bobbin/wire shift

WolfeMacleod | Bobbin/wire shift I occasionally have an interesting problem.... My wire drifts... Since I wind on a drill press, and use the handle to guide the bobbin back and forth (instead of moving the wire) I must first extend the press outwards, wrap a few tunrs by hand along the bottom flange, and then retract the press so the wire is wound against the top part of the bobbin... Then, start the wind, extend and retract the press to guide the wire... Well, sometimes the wire seems to "drift" to the left, away from the top part of the bobbin, when the press is fully retracted...so when the wire SHOULD be closest to the top, it's actually settlings somewhere towards the middle of the coil. It's like...an invisible person is pusing my drill press to the right while I wind....or pushing my tensioner to the left, either way works... I have to stop, move my press to the right, and resume... I've checked for movement of the press and tensioner...neither are moving. There is not a great distance between the tensioner and the bobbin...the wire is still coming straight up, and is not slanted as it comes off the tensioner... Any words of wisdom? Wolfe |
