1. A method of fusing together magnet wire and stranded wire, comprising the steps of providing a first electrode which includes an inwardly tapered slot having two opposed, inclined sidewalls and being sized and shaped so as to releaseably capture said magnet wire and said stranded wire, providing a second electrode which includes a tip having two oppositely-facing parallel walls and being sized and shaped so as to be freely movable into and out of said slot in said first electrode, inserting said magnet wire and said stranded wire into said slot in said first electrode such that said stranded wire is above said magnet wire, moving said second electrode such that said tip thereof enters said slot in said first electrode with substantial portions of said parallel walls of said tip confronting said inclined sidewalls of said slot and said tip engages said stranded wire, energizing said first and second electrodes to an extent such that the heat and pressure generated by said first second electrodes fuse said stranded wire to said magnet wire.
