A video showing the technique and the basic tools for making a chainmaille coil, which can then be cut into open rings for weaving chainmaille. The first of two initial parts. List of things to get started: #1- 2 pairs of pliers #2- Mini bolt cutters #3- Wire (1/4 mile of Galvanized steel is only at Tractor Supply. The cheapest I've found so far. That should be enough wire to make a complete hauberk.) #4- Smooth Metal Rod #5- Power Drill w/ .5" chuck (unless your going the hand-powered mandrill route which produces better rings at a slower rate.) #6- Leather Work Gloves (good for guiding wire onto the rod when winding rings.) All in all, it shouldn't cost more than for the equipment. After that, wire is really cheap if you buy it in 1/4 mile spools. Otherwise, you can buy various different kinds of wire metals from theringlord.com

8mm wire Spring coiling machine
on Wednesday, November 14, 2012
8mm wire Spring coiling machine Video Clips. Duration : 0.95 Mins.
This universal automatic spring Coiling Machine is for the fully automatic production of left or right hand coiled springs of the compression or tension type, with closed end coils, cylindrical tapered or double tapered and other shaped spring. The wire is inserted to the feed rolls through the straightening unit. Pressure on the wire is adjusted by manual screwing of individual feed rolls. Integrated change Gear box is provided to vary the speed of feed rolls to vary wire length and to vary the speed of output production. Two AC drives are also provided for fine settings of the speed of the feed rolls and the cam shaft. Two regulators are provided of which one sets the approximate length of the wire and the other is for fine setting the wire length occupied in a spring. An inching arrangement is provided for easy setting of the machine during cut off operation. Individual cutting operation enables to cut the wire from middle cycle of spring to ensure minimu wastage of wire.
