One of the big questions about coil winding is: What is the recommended wire tension to allow a perfect winding?
The answer to this question is not simple as it depends on the material of the wire, its dimensions, characteristics of the winding – square coils usually need more tension than round ones – and, surprise, the manufacturer.
