46 SWG (0.060mm) Enamelled Copper Wire...
Apologies for forgetting that you'd made your own winder!
IMHO, winding 46SWG must be done by hand as the slightest tug will snap it. If you can get a low-geared battery drill and a foot pedal to control its speed, run the wire though clean finger-and-thumb, it would be ok. However, I'd vote for "by hand" with wire that fine. My 43SWG (0.090mm) which is 50% thicker (!!!) was a challenge - 46SWG could be "interesting"....
