easy winding lenght 1m = 1000*1mm

1mm wire - 1000 turns will spread a little probably to 45"

70m per 0.5kg - , 9" dia ie 70cm per turn, 1000 turns = 700m,
5kg of wire minimum.
Try Scientific wire Co for large spools of wire - about L7 per
kilo.

Watch the American answers - AWG (US) is slightly different
from SWG, UK but its mostly listed in metric now - probably
best if UK coilers use mm or AWG here.

have fun,
