Re: Stripping 40 AWG/45 SWG or finer magnet wire/enamelled copper wire?

I think I'll stay with abraided stripping.

Making a paper spaced emery stripper gives lot better control.

So results for 40AWG/45SWG wire tested at a breaking force of 4 oz with knot
and 5 oz with rubber clamping.
Perfectly good double sided stripping at no more than 2 oz of force.
Interspercing with a *** of paper in the jig, so single sided , only 1 oz.

So even double action and repeating a few times, to strip around, then
should comfortably remain within the elastic limit. Or putting it another
way much the same as the back-torque for tidy winding of that gauge of wire.

The slight abraiding of the copper can only help for tinning/soldering as
compared to any remnant chemical or burning residue.
