Notes:

Wire cutting:

Will the slower speed of transitioning the shorter tip profile plate and the thinness of the cut core at this end deform the core? Should the aluminum template at the tip end be wider or cooled to remove more heat from that end of the wire?
Divide the chords up at both ends by some common number and then count out the positions while cutting.

Twist? It will definitely be an advantage.
