OK, I am on a roll. Although I have 3 lathes, I am building a separate room
/machine shop and my lathes are unavailable for the moment. But, I wanted
to wind a quick rf choke to test theory mentioned in the prior post. Not
wanting to wind one by hand, I found the desired core, which was tapped at
one end. Looking in my standoff drawer, I found a 3/8" diameter standoff
with a stud on one end - which fit into the proposed rf choke.
Put the standoff into a cordless drill sitting on the floor, and holding the
drill in one hand I used my thumb to control placement of the wire. Just a
short time later, I had a nice looking solenoid rf choke, neatly wound.
Whole process, from idea to rf choke, took about 5 minutes.
