I Burned Up My Wire Stripper Stripping Massive Pile Of Wire 

Thanks

Ha is.

Nice! Thanks for sharing

Interesting suggestion, I will have to try that.

I'd be interested in seeing how that works, I'm having trouble picturing it in my head. But of course, I'm blonde and it seems to take me a while to figure things out lol

@@tinathompson2877 I'm interested as well. lol

Haha, Thanks

Thank you for watching.

Me too! lol

haha, thanks

Thanks

Thanks

Thanks

Thanks

Thanks

Thanks! It was unfortunate but a great time for some upgrades.

You got the right idea but all wrong I process 65000 lb month where is your gaylord forklift and brokers

Anything smaller then 8 gawge I granulated

Cutting is your waste of time if they are spooled up un wind and run it right in to the gaylord your shop is to much clutter get storage container

Thanks, stay tuned more coming.

Thanks

Thanks for sharing, I like to see that machine.

It was a long time ago. I think it was a Kingsing stripper. It was a large machine.

Haha

I paid pennies for it. lol

I have 3 of them now. lol

That is true but It would be a unnecessary step that would cost time and money. Eventually I will be granulating the small wire

What would freezing the wire do? When stripping by hand its a good idea to set it in the sun to heat the plastic.

Thanks

Well I hope its copper.

Yes, it was originally a plastic granulator. But I think It would be a waste of time and energy because I don't get paid for the insulation.

​@@ProjectShopFl I understand that, I was just thinking that if you shredded it and subsequently bagged it, it would break down easier in the landfill and be less trash overall for the planet. lol Otherwise even without shredding it if you utilized some sort of feed system that someone could feed the insulation into (while holding the wire) it would make that process more streamlined especially when you have the shorter pieces coming through the stripper.

Talk to every electrical contractor and offer them a good price for the wire. Try and find a good buyer that will pay you more than local yards.

Thanks for the tip

Thanks! Sounds like a lot of work, good luck getting it all done

Great idea. I do have a lathe and I might try and sharpen the blades my self.

Hardened thin piece of steel on a lathe? That may not work.

@@ProjectShopFl Since they are probably hardened you would be better off grinding them sharp but with some creative engineering you could probably still use the lathe.

@@kbs3055 Do you know of a better way? I was thinking of some kind of grinding stone

Soon, and not as much as bare bright but for the thin wire cut helps on time.

Interesting idea, I already have the interrupter witch is the Hurst shifter mounted on the front. If some one was on the back side all that is not needed because you are picking up clean copper.

@@ProjectShopFl think 2 open hands to manage the 2 types of product coming out. foot pedal to control speed/activation. using the hurst means one less hand to deal with product. they're about 30-40 bucks used on ebay for the good ones. plus 20 bucks for a hvac relay to take the motor load. the ideal is 2 open hands so they can fold copper going into the good product tub. then you can do longer lengths more efficiently. i'd venture a guess at twice the lb's moved if made a new table for product/waste going into tubs semi automatic. less touches the better.

@@ProjectShopFl just looked again. i can see it in my head on connecting the lever handle to a foot pedal on the output side. no switch needed. just some rod ends and all thread.

Ebay, they are used jaws of life.

As a pyro that sounds like a good idea but they won't buy burned copper in my area.

Thanks

I'm single. lol

Find a good buyer and get out there and talk to contractors

Next time I get some wire I will try that.

Yes it is, I wish I could feed it all day. lol

It can be recycled but no one in my area pays for it. I take it to the local dump.

yes I have but it would waste too much time for something I won't get paid for. My granulator is a modified plastic granulator. lol

Would of though it be easier to do as it separate the plastic and metal,

@@mrdando I think he was suggesting I granular just the plastic after running it through the wire stripper.

I send it to the local dump for recycling. I'd love to make diesel with it.

wait till you see the next video. lol

Haha, I just found the donut maker.

I went 220v so that should no longer be an issue. lol

Are you trying to say I got my money out of it? lol

Electricians. Lots of electricians.

👊

Electrical contractors

I called them all out and made it very clear what the issue was. I also brought the issues up multiple times. They know exactly why things happened the way they did.

I just found the donut maker, I'll make one soon. lol

Thanks for the suggestion. I replaced the 110v 3 hp motor with a 220v 5 hp motor. lol

More likely a breaker with temperature sensor, and only an indicator lamp for overcurrent. Short time overload is allowed, you don't want to stop the machine every 3mins or so.

The struggle is real! lol I've given so many people opportunities to work and learn and it always ends up in disappointment. Sad world we live in today.

Haha, I will have to make a video about it.

On the bigger cables

Thanks for the suggestion

Haha, The beard does not get in the way, I eat and brush my teeth like normal.

Yes

Things get messy when scrapping. lol

@@ProjectShopFl Yeah you'd think we were a bunch of meth heads if you walked in.🤣

Possibly but they bout buy it and the fire department will show up. lol

First of all I was referring the 4 so-called partners that talked a good game until it came time to work, 2nd I pay general labor (People asking for a job with no skills) $15 per hour cash to start, I don't deduct for lunch and I usually buy lunch.

220 5 hp is wat I'm wanting to upgrade to. 💪

Who is tweeting? lol

Definitely easier but definitely bad for the environment and his health. Also some places will not buy burned copper.

It is no longer clean copper and you get a much worse price for it.

I can agree with that.

Thanks for the feedback, Its hard to get good free music.

@@ProjectShopFl still liked the video I'm just not a fan of music i would rather hear the machine sounds than music but I'm just 1 person. It's really interesting what you do to make money!

It was damaged
