[Elecraft] Toroid Winding Question

[Tom Hammond]

Hi Kevin:

Probably more effort than it's worth.

I have tried running a 'beveling' drill bit around the inner edges, 
and several other schemes, but not sure it's much help.

For the relatively few ferrite cores in the kit, I would urge the 
careful application of restraint while winding and not worrying about 
it from there on.

We hear very little(!) from builders regarding actual problems from 
shorted turns, so it's obviously not a significant problem... other 
than a source for worry for some builders. If it were a bulldog, his 
bark would be worse than his bite!

Cheers,

Tom Hammond   N0SS
