Jig Man Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Look at hobby or hardware stores for 24g or similar. I use old windings from a burned out table saw motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cadman Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 I use 22 Ga (.024) copper wire, with three wraps and then twisted at tag ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayburnGuy Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 If you have an electric motor rewinding shop close to where you live they might be an excellent source for copper wire. When they rewind a motor they cut the old wire out for scrap. Now mind you they don't just throw it away given the price of copper these days, but you might pick some up for scrap prices.
