Channel magnets might keep base plates in place. Cheap and worth a shot.

@ProjectShopFl День назад

Thanks for the suggestion

For those small transformers I would use a cheapo wood chisel so your not wasting blades and not losing copper in dust

Maybe it could be as simple as hooking a short 5 inch bungee cord to both outer edges of the plates and run the cord underneath the plates. The cord would keep the plates tensioned together but easy to separate to put in transformers. Weld a small 1 inch wide piece of metal underneath onto the front-end of the table closest to you that sticks up flush in between the plates. Weld the metal to the table, not the plates. Center the welded piece of metal to the ram-rod. So when you remove the transformer the plates snap back into center position underneath the ram. The one inch separation will make it easy to put in a transformer without having to touch the plates, and the cord will allow the plates to separate to any width transformer. Just an idea for you to think about.

You may have already thought about it but those springs on the small press look to be closer to your face than the other might want to wrap those springs in some steal mesh before they break

@ProjectShopFl 2 дня назад

I think I am gonna put some expanded metal on it like the other press.

@Archangel4500000 2 дня назад

Would It help to use some of those extra springs you have for the press? Use springs on either side to force the plates together- they don't have to be super powerful- just enough to push the plates together. You could also add a bar in the back to "lock" the plates and prevent them from pushing all the way together.

@ProjectShopFl 2 дня назад

I want to put a bar on the back but I think the springs will cause more work.

@katman1957 2 дня назад

maybe you could use a drill press vice that would give you an adjustable opening that would stay in position.

I find as long as the stuff you are micro scrapping has copper or brass in it... you can make good money processing it :-) Great Video!

@ProjectShopFl День назад

Yes! 👊

@tank6188 2 дня назад

Glad to see your getting that table cleared. Dude u should talk to your scrap yards about buying ballists and tranformers even electric motors from them. Even if u pay them more than what their getting it might be worth it.

@ProjectShopFl День назад

Thanks for the suggestion

@DavidGS66 2 дня назад

I suspect meat cleaver would work well on windings that need to be cut. Meat cleaver is an extremely underrated tool which many scrappers have never tried.

@ProjectShopFl 15 часов назад

Thanks, I have a hatchet I like to use.

@leannejones8374 3 дня назад

Fantastic video Derek can't wait to see that table done 😊

@ProjectShopFl 2 дня назад

Thanks!

@jayburnett9730 3 дня назад

Maybe you could make a master jig with different size holes to use with the press. Probably wouldn't be too difficult to go ahead and machine your own part.

@ProjectShopFl 2 дня назад

Thanks for the suggestion

@bfd1565 2 дня назад

Just a friendly suggestion. 1" plate and mill the different sizes you need to punch out the transformer cores.

@ProjectShopFl 2 дня назад

Thanks for the suggestion

@vinceplesnicar8180 2 дня назад

Put a blade attachment on your press like a log splitter to cut the copper windings

Thanks for the suggestion

@Harry-gb2tr 2 дня назад

Hi Derek. Can you cook those ballasts in your big incinerator? Keep up the good work.

@ProjectShopFl 15 часов назад

Possibly I just cooked some other things. lol

@scrappingonthefly77 3 дня назад

5:39 might be easier to just split the copper with a sharp wood chisel

@ethanwilson1001 День назад

@4:30 Placing springs that press inward against the edges of the plates may help them stabilize for the press?

@ProjectShopFl 15 часов назад

Possibly

@guiseppecapritto7577 2 дня назад

should try this or something similiar - IRWIN Bar Clamp: Flat, 24 in Max Jaw Opening, 7 7/8 in to 31 3/8 in, 3 1/4 in Throat Dp, One Handed Item 52LA97Mfr. Model 1964720

Thanks for the suggestion

@ThaMazda 3 дня назад

You could mill out one side of the transformer to fit the bigger size huh?

@ProjectShopFl 2 дня назад

Possibly

@compdude551 2 дня назад

Would toggle clamps be strong enough to hold those plates on the press?

@ProjectShopFl 2 дня назад

Possibly I will look in to them.

@garyammerman2153 2 дня назад

Before you fire up the big incinerator to burn some of those gunk coated copper items, why don't you try your torch on a smaller piece or two to see what happens on a smaller scale?

@ProjectShopFl День назад

Thanks for the suggestion

Don't you have a third plate for the machine. So the blades can't go to the sides.

@ProjectShopFl День назад

I might. lol

@jayburnett9730 3 дня назад

Just curious I was always kind of wondering? When Steve worked with you did he get a cut of the spoils?

@trackjosh 2 дня назад

Pretty sure Steve worked for an hourly wage.

@ProjectShopFl 2 дня назад

Steave worked for gas engines. lol

@tank6188 2 дня назад

Instead of wasting grinder discs just take a wide wood chisle and make a series of cuts

@ProjectShopFl День назад

Thanks for the suggestion

Please add urdu language in video caption ❤❤❤from pakistan.

@ProjectShopFl День назад

I will try.

@AdamW-tx Час назад

if you don't do enough of the tiny transformers... a modification to your equipment isn't necessary. Just struggle with it for 20 minutes, once a year (or whatever). Seems like you may waste more time doing the modification that actually using the modification. ? I dunno.

@ProjectShopFl 37 минут назад

Thanks, I'm on the fence but it would make the machine safer

@jayburnett9730 3 дня назад

Does anybody know what that black potting compound is made of?
