Easy New Method for Removing Copper Winding's From Motors (DIY) Using Limited Tools 

I'm happy it worked out for you

Absolutely! When I do the 'cut one side through the copper routine' It cost (depending on the size of the motor) much more friction, struggling, energy and time to get the stuff out. Hammering the blade cost no energy. I am actually wondering what the result will be if you don't cut ones in the middle, but instead make two cuts close to the ends. It will divide it in three parts, so the friction is much lesser, which makes removing the copper easier. Well, it's a theory, perhaps valid enough to experiment with?

You also could use a makeshift guillotine like press cutter. Using an old hydraulic carjack (electrical or just manual) and mount this in a square frame, to which you mount the blade you used now, in downward direction. Advantage, is less power, less noise and danger of hitting your hands. Will be faster if you use an electric one, but a manual jack will do.

No problem

Great idea thanks I have one too. It's pretty beat up don't use it much for wood anymore but sounds perfect for scrapping

I was thinking the same thing. Drill a couple holes or weld a plate on top. That way you can save your knuckles!

I was gonna do that.

That might work but I would have my doubts the steel on a cheap machete would handle the blows.

@@Vicsonvee fiskars brand not exactly cheap but it has held up after several hundred stators

It may, but I believe it would be a lot more work because it was too thick. I guess you could grind it down so it was more narrow, then it would work for certain

The rotatory ones I cut open on a lathe or a band-saw and the other ones I just cut open with a cut-off wheel, on an angle grinder

Nope, it works for all motors oiled or not

Just look for an old plow coulter and cut a section out of it

Can’t find 1. Why you quiet videos

Didn't have one and I was demonstrating that you can use limited tools to achieve the goal.

Shit runs down hill and payday is Thursday.

@@Vicsonvee 🤣

Yep, try it for yourself.

LIMMMMMMMMMMMMIITTTTTTTEEEDDD TOOOOOOOLLLLSSSS my dude... See the title for full elaboration. If I had a press, it'd be in a press

O should have spoke longer, aye? Hahahaha, easy now big guy

People who are not familiar with being in front of a camera tend to drone on, but I’m sure his technique will get better! Vicsonvee, weld a bar/pipe the hold the disc in place and then you won’t hit your hand! Well done!

It's really angry

Well sir, I'm so appreciative that you are very observant. I'm happy for you and that is quite wonderful that you have such a clean workspace. You know I bet it's nearly as clean as the content you produce over on your youtube channel.. I mean really, I enjoyed watching what you have on it. I am however just a little confused as to how mishitting that cutter with my hammer would have to do with tidiness of my workspace... I mean one might just say that was bound to happen regardless... Hmmmmmm? Well I hope in the future I learn a little lesson from you and your most caring comment here. I really love such feedback..

​@Vicsonvee is that your mama dukes incognito busting your chops or what?😮

It worked wonderfully, it was just I slipped on the first swing. You know how that is. I mean you are welcome to try this method for yourself. I'm sure you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Good to see!

Nice lets see your great demonstration video...

Obviously you haven't scrapped a whole lot... "and pulled out"........yeah

@@dawnpeterson3215 obviously I have if I know it's easy to remove. Hold L

@@dawnpeterson3215 noob life

I’ve used bolt cutters and pulled through the other end as well. It works great.

@@patmurch6184 hope it works for you

@@Vicsonvee thanks! I didn't get around to it last week, hoping to in next couple days I'll let y'all know

Vice wouldn't open that wide......

Already made a video of that....

usually drive them out with a punch

Why bother, they give you the same price and really it's a little more weight. All motor windings are varnished copper and it's grade 2

Yeah my yard don't care about a little plastic and string. I'll take the loose plastic and string out but not sitting there cutting string to loose weight. It's clean #2 no matter

If you are scrapping metals I'm sure you'll come across a thin piece of spring steel you can make one of these out of.

What about a splitting wedge?

I found it finally after I realized someone barrowed it

@@Vicsonvee Those inconsiderate bastids! How dare they. They knew you needed it, and asked for it anyway. The nerve of some people...

Yea give it a try and see what you think
