cutting copper
Lou, remember to keep pushing the wire into the drill bit in a fast steady pace. Then the pieces will be a consistent 1/8 in length. Good luck, and let me know how it turns out. John- Johnny Bottles

cutting copper
L C, Dose your drill press have enough amps? Not sure why your jambing up. I use 12 gauge wire. I keep feeding steady into the drill bit, it cuts around 1/8 in length. Feed the wire in to slow and it will cut small pieces. I run at 1720 rpms. John.- Johnny Bottles

cutting copper
Hi LC, I took a piece of steel stock & drilled a hole through the top. Then drilled a intersecting hole on the face to feed the wire into the drill bit. It will cut the wire as fast as you can feed it through.- Johnny Bottles
