Just started getting into scrapping. My2.5 car garage is COMPLETELY FILLED with steel. Few hundred pounds of aluminum but mostly steel. Learned that that was a mistake. Your videos have been helping me a lot, you are well spoken, cool accent, very very informative. Will be watching through all your videos when I get the time

Welcome to the scrap life, some scrap for the fun of it and some scrap for a living, others scrap for a little extra cash, the guys that do it for a living will tell you that some thing are not worth the time, and for them they are right, but for the hobby scrapper and micro scrapper they may take 15 minutes to clean .05 worth of metal. for me it's a hobby the money helps around the house and to buy new tools, as I have said there are about as many ways to scrap as there are scrappers. find a way that fit's you and tools that you feel comfortable with. learn how to use all tools safely, I am sure that you don't want to part with any fingers, other scrappers that you may like k&d scrapping, and here is another scrapper his channel is growing slow, he comments a lot on my videos ru-vid.com/show-UCnUfZRsUujyQ0cQXdohavRg take care and thanks for watching Jack

I mounted an angle grinder and used a foot pedal which allows me to hold the core and turn it while cutting. A couple times around and it makes a clean cut. It's also handy for scarfing.
@Okiescrapper

sounds like a good method, I need to get a foot pedal switch, I have an old grinder with no guard, I could make a table and mount in using a 7 inch blade

Cut the strings on one side, use a screwdriver to pull apart the main bundles, usually into four loops, cut thru them with a cut-wheel on a Dremel tool, then pull wires thru, it's a lil slower, but it's alot cleaner too, ya can even set up a small vacuum to collect any copper dust
@Okiescrapper
@Okiescrapper 3 года назад
after pulling them apart you could cut them with a pair of long handle cable cutters.

I had the same issue with the Portaband. It grabs wires and jams in the bearings that turn the blade back to the wheel. Your portaband seems to not catch small wires. I guess it depends on the winding size. I have used the sawsaw with a new bimetal blade and it works ok but my grinder with a cutoff wheel works the best. Those pesky strings are a Pain in the A55.
@Okiescrapper

I may try to use a propane torch and see if I can burn them off, or use a wire wheel on a drill or bench grinder may do it.

Good thing about air chizel it pulls out all the copper. The oil in the compressor makes it easy to pull out the copper, but when they haven't been sitting in oil the air chizel is very handy.
@Okiescrapper
@Okiescrapper 3 года назад
yes it is, it is one of my go to tools, there is so much that you can do with it, if you have the right chisels, next would be the angle grinder,, I got a porta band saw not long ago and am finding places to use it, much faster then the sawzall and grinder. Thanks for watching
@cuscrapping
@cuscrapping 4 года назад
On the motor that only had strings on one side, maybe it would have helped to cut the side without the strings? Then maybe the strings would keep the other side from pulling through? Also, it would be cool to see another "tool maintenance" video, like how to properly sharpen your air chisels? 👍 Love your videos!!
@Okiescrapper
@Okiescrapper 4 года назад
Yes I think the strings may have helped I could have wrapped some blue tape around the other end so the wires would stay together

If you like the air hammer then I would suggest a wide blade chisel for it... it would cut much faster and easier. Also a finer tooth blade on the saw all would prevent the pulling of wires. And for gods sake get a sturdy table and mount the vise to it. All the moving of the table and the vise are a accident waiting to happen. Is losing your life worth a few bucks of scrap metal.

You need to check what windings are in the motor, aluminium ones aren’t worth the effort to strip, use a nine inch slitting disc to cut the end off , get a hydraulic ram to pull out the windings, anything else is uneconomic.
@Okiescrapper
@Okiescrapper 2 года назад
the aluminum windings are a big disappointment but the good thing is you don't get a lot of them, a 4 1/2 inch cutting disk will cut them open fast, I just got a plasma cutter and plan to try it, I use an air chisel to get the windings out with a bit that I modified. works well, a lot faster than prying the windings out. thanks for stopping by and Happy Thanksgiving

It would be hard to clean that much copper in that time, so cleaning any metal would be done in slow or down time. well thanks for watching and have a Happy Thanksgiving
