    I have been using a bandsaw to cut the edge off the copper windings, and using a punch to tap the copper through the hole. It is the simplest way to do it that I have found. A big transformer will take less then 5 mins if you have a good blade. Some times I use a wedge under the winding after cutting it to pull it through the hole
