Well that was easier than I thought lol
Two lengths of 28gauge nickel
One end in vice
The other attached to drill
Low speed away you go
Works a treat
Thanks to everybody in previous threads for their advice

28gauge nickel teethcv, Cut two one metre lengths Put them together One end in a smal vice The other wrapped around an old allan key in the drill Pulled tight and used drill on its slowest speed Gradually increased speed until wire broke at the end The image above is the end result |
