Tim,

I'd use the big lathe to first true up the PVC then thread it with a small
grove for the wire to sit in. Hand feed the wire into the grove after is
threaded...

My 2cents...

	Hi all, I'm in the early design stage of my first
coil and the machine shop that I work for just bought a
CNC lathe (10 feet between centers and 18 1/2 inch swing).

	If anyone has tried winding secondary or power 
transformer coils on a CNC I'd appreciate any advice.
Winding the secondary shouldn't present any problems but
winding a rectangular transformer coil is going to present 
some issues with feeding the wire.  

Thanks in advance,
Tim
