U.S. Solid NZ-1 Coil Winder Instructions This machine should be mounted on a sturdy worked bench. There are three holes on the machine for fastening it to the work bench. Regularly put some lube oil into the oil filter holes of the spindle. Please turn the reset handle of the counter and let it reverse to "00000" before the machine goes to work. It is required to turn the reset handle twice so as to have the whole counting gear come into the reset condition, otherwise, it will be possible for the gear to slip and thus lead to inexactness in counting. Please do not turn the reset handle when the machine is running. Precautions Due to the shaking of the transportation process, the shaft may be slightly bent when you receive. Then just knock the shaft with a wooden hammer , it will be straight soon.

It works really well and has really good accuracy. Review: Great machine for winding pickups on a budget - This machine works very well and is much cheaper than just about any alternative (including many diy ones). I originally ordered an NZ-1 winder from a different seller. It had a different brand name and the faceplate was in Chinese as opposed to English. One of the gears is plastic and when it arrived the plastic gear was broken in half. I returned it and decided to try the one offered by this seller instead. This one still has a plastic gear, but it arrived intact and it is a different type of plastic that I am pretty confident will not break. I used it to wind a guitar pickup and it worked great. I stuck a strong magnet on the end of the spindle and it held the pickup in place via the center pole pieces. The counter works great and seems to be accurate. If you turn it in reverse, the counter reverses as well, so should you need to do some unwinding if you have a problem, the count will stay accurate. It is mentioned that you can hook a motor up to the winder, but does not give good information on how to do this or what kind of motor to use. I found a write-up that someone who used this winder to make Helmholtz coils produced. In their write-up, they mentioned that it works well with an old sewing machine motor and pedal (1.0 AMPS HOME SEWING MACHINE MOTOR & PEDAL SINGER HA1 15 66 99). These are available for very cheap on ebay. I ordered one but have yet to receive it and see how well it works. Should you hook it up to a sewing machine motor, you need to be careful to not go too fast, as the motor will allow for higher RPMs than the winder is rated for. The only reason I give it four stars instead of five is because of the poorly written instructions/documentation. **Edit** I have used this multiple times now for winding pickups. It still works great. I did get the sewing machine motor hooked up to it and mounted it all to a piece of 2x6 and have not had any major issues other than having to keep my eye on the speed. I also occasionally need to give the motor a break to keep it from getting too warm. I no longer use the magnet to hold the pickup in place. Instead, I bolted a piece of board vertically to the end of the shaft. Before winding a pickup, I apply carpet tape to the board and stick the pickup bobbin directly to the carpet tape. I got this idea from reading the manual for a professional pickup winder to see how they held their bobbins. I have added a couple of photos to show my setup. ## Features - Suitable for small motor coils, small transformers and fishing lines in the telecommunications and electrical industries. If used on tassels, webbing, elastic threads, the load-bearing capacity should not exceed 300g. - Equipped with a counting dial, which can count 99999 turns. The speed ratio of the spindle and the counter shaft is 1:1, when the spindle turns 1 turn, the counter counts 1. - Pull the reset handle on the left by hand, the counter can be reset to 00000. - The maximum diameter of coils fit to be wound: 150mm (5.91 inches) - The maximum length of coils fit to be wound: 100mm (3.94 inches) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 159 Reviews | ## Images ![U.S. Solid Dual-Purpose Electric/Manual Coil Winding Machine w/Counter - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51FJp9B6dNL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What is the smallest spindle thread ratio? 5/32 thread twist post fit on the spindle?** A: The spindle thread on mine is Metric a M10x1.5 **Q: Can this be used to wind compression springs?** A: This piece are made in China in very low quality and rough so the price reflected it, but it useable for winding a magnetic copper wire, I don't think it can be used for steel wire. **Q: Can the 10mm shaft be removed and replaced with a drill chuck? What thread size would the chuck need?** A: No, the shaft is fixed. There are two wooden chucks that come with it along with a tightening nut. I made my own mandrel which I drilled a hole in to hold the wire. I used the wooden chucks to hold the mandrel in place and that worked great. **Q: So how do you change it to 1:1 turn ratio? I thought you would just swap the crank with the pulley, but the crank then hits the lower shaft.** A: The lower pulley is for a motor. Take it off. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A convenient tool for winding miles of wire. *by F***N on November 23, 2025* Used this to rebuild a vintage flyback transformer.
