I used a very similar jig, also with VSR drill and Variac.  The problem I
had was finding a support "bearing" for the threaded rod to pass through
that doesn't engage the threads.

Hi All,

For the OLTC effort, I have to wind like a mile and a half of wire on a
secondary.

I went and got like $10 worth of stuff for this;

Seems to test out fine.  The drill easily stops if the torque incresses so
no borken wires.  The variac controls the speed of the drill just fine.  I
think this will work well.

Cheers,
