Hi James

We eat magnet wire by the ton.

Our factory in Mexico dips the ends in what we consider Hi-Temp solder, 450
C.

When we don't do that; which is 99% of the time we use an abrasive wheel.

Good Luck

                Subject:        [TN] STRIPPING ENAMEL COATED WIRE

                We have until recently used stripex to remove the coating on
magnet wire
                on very small hand wound coils.  These coils are made of
usually .003
                mil magnet wire wound around a .053 mandril.   The problem
we are going
                to run into in the near future is we can no longer get
stripex so we
                need another way to strip the insulation off the wire.  If
anyone has a
                process or any idea's they would be greatly appreciated.
