[T….in Wisconsin]

Regarding Plan C:

Military Surplus laminate removal.

Received  MS coil today and successfully removed the laminates in just under 2 hours without loss of blood, appendages or disparaging words, a win in my cave.  After spinning my prop for 90 minutes I took this approach.

1. Using a die grinder cut off laminates on both side up close to the coil.
2. Cleaned up lam ends on bench  grinder
3. Center drilled lams on drill press using 9/32 bit stopping 1/4 inch short of going all the way through.
4. Using round flat punch & small hammer drove center lams out opp end.
5. Separated remaining lams using hammer, straight pick tool, flat blade screwdriver and needle nose pliers.

Almost want to do this again and clock the time….damn only ordered one coil.
