Straighten wire from a coil by chucking one end into a drill, applying slight outward pressure, and slowly spinning the drill.
Here's a breakdown of the process:
- Secure the Wire: Chuck one end of the coiled wire into the jaws of a drill, using the drill as a makeshift vise.
- Apply Outward Pressure: Gently pull the wire outward, away from the drill, applying slight tension. This tension is crucial for straightening the wire.
- Spin the Drill Slowly: While maintaining the outward pressure, slowly activate the drill, allowing it to spin the wire. The spinning action, combined with the tension, will straighten the wire as it unwinds.
- Inspect and Repeat: After the initial pass, check the wire's straightness. You may need to repeat the process, adjusting the tension and spinning speed to achieve the desired result.
This method uses the principle of controlled twisting and stretching to remove the curves and bends from the coiled wire. It's a quick and effective technique for straightening wire for various applications.
