I’ve only done it twice,but I set the coil on end in my vise and used a small punch to knock out a few of the middle laminates.Then I switched to a bigger punch and worked from the middle out,a few at a time to remove the rest.

Stanley, your way is what I did in the past, and started to do this time,
but I didn’t get any movement.
I cut one laminate end off close to the coil case, so as not to bend up
the laminate ends while punching.
Then drilled the hole and tried punching out the center laminated that way.
I don’t think I could have drilled the hole straight through the center though,
without the milling machine.
Will keep trying! Thanks.

Prepare to be boarded!
