What are the skills needed to do motor rewinding?

YOU NEED CONSETRATION AND NEAT. It helps tremendously to have had electrical training in areas such as electric motors,

Basic AC and DC theory, and machine shop. As with any skill, practice and being your

own severest critic help move you toward a desirable level of competence. Approach

others who are employed in that industry and ask questions.

The above is correct and needed. I work as an electric motor re-winder for a small shop 3rd generation owner and taught by him. I am after 2 years moving into my own waters there and improving the product as I go. One dairy we re-wind for says our motors last 3 times longer than the new ones.

AC/DC theory is needed, machine shop experience only for the person that re-assembles unless your shop has you do motors from start to finish. Strong hands and patience are the key tools in this trade for sure. The work is a bit repetitive but thinking on how to improve your product keep your mind busy.

This career can help you to feel very connected to the community as all types of businesses and people need your service. In my area the farmers and dairys love us very much and we get gifts from them often. Knowing dairys and farmers is a special bonus for hunters also. Your career as a re-winder helps keep people working in industry as well when their plant goes down, the city uses you to keep water flowing and the list goes on and on.
