I hate that aluminum crap my yard doesn’t pay me shit for it 25 cents stripped the cheapest thing I can find besides shred and to top it off you can find a whole mile of the crap and it weighs like 3 pounds,this guy on YT said it’s actually an extrusion(and it is) and that’s what they pay. I will continue to clean it up and scrap it out because that’s just how we are.
I recently stripped 3/4 inch Al cables with Coppermine 210, which overall went well. Thick Al cables have enough leverage to loosen blade, so I wish blades had flat front faces to more tightly secure locking bolt. They wouldn't fit in similar Bluerock Wl-100. Hole 3/4 inches wide even though manual says hole is 7/8 inches (sic).
Don't blow off this useful tip. If you have a hole that's too small and one that's too large, make an adapter to use the larger hole. Put in a piece of pipe that fits inside the larger hole to make an adapter to strip a smaller size wire. You can weld on a ring to go around the end of the pipe to prevent it from going all the way in. It will keep the wire centered in the larger hole. You can put the adapter in and take it out on the fly or use a set screw to make it more permanent.. Oh and By the way, there's a thick copper cable wrapped around the pully shaft next to the chain. I can see it spinning when you are stripping the aluminum wire.
Thanks for the suggestion, the only issue is it can still walk to the side of the blade because the cup size has not changed. I think it might help on the first set of rollers but will do little for the 2nd set. I think if the rollers were more of a v instead of rounded I'd have less of an issue. I want to make a new feeder plate and when I do I will incorporate inserts and see what happens.
Would it be possible for you to show us, as well as explain the hydraulic setup that you use with the "jaws of life", or as I like to call them the "jaws o copper wire". lol
In the years i have been watching you this is the first time i felt you were about to loose your temper. I think you just don’t have the love for aluminum that you do for copper. It’s like a step child metal for you.
Hey Derek, Down here in the south we don’t think much of yankies and there yanker ways.. Steve said the south will rise again, It’s obvious we wants to blow up the chopper chopper machine
I don't know what it is they are coating alluminum wire with now days but if you made singles with it your house would have a bullet proof roof that would last forever
Brother, I had requested that if you have a job for me, please give it to me, but you said that we don't have a job, so I am requesting that the company from which you buy these goods should talk to me. Please answer me. May God bless you greatly.
Hammer mill, copper shredder, re-orient the blade on your splitter, Water sluice, Lathe, Milling machining, Truck fender, trailer upgrades, the other trailer, the Air conditioners, Forklift, mounting the copper puller permanently... Oh, not to mention the $5000/month you need just to stay in the building. (did i miss anything?)
Thanks, I do what I can with the time and energy I have. Believe me If I could just stop and fix everything g I would but the bills are not gonna wait for me to fix things.
The casing on aluminum wire ive heard is so thick because it's pretty much direct bury wire.. it can go straight in the ground with no conduit!
Wow! It sure is some tough stuff. lol
Awe man, @ 20:48 you dodged a bullet. That long strip of aluminum almost caught you in the face 😮.
The camera made it look worse than it was there was some distance that's why It did not phase me. lol
You need some big boxes 👍.
I got some from the scrap yard
I've been waiting to see this aluminum stripped, was wondering if you were going to even make a video on it.
👍👍👍
Yes, that was super tough wire to strip. But now that's out of the way and on to the good stuff.
👍👍👍
great video to bad it wasnt copper but i see you got them nugets waiting to do so may make up for the alumenam wire thank you for sharing with us
The aluminum was a pain but the nuggets will be worth the effort!

.25 cleaned??? They are ripping you off! It's one of the highest grades of AL.
Copper , copper , copper , that's where the real money is . Rock on boys .
Thanks!
"we have some 1500 waters 🍶" best moment in this vidio
👍👍👍
I picked ip about 400 pounds of aluminum wire like that after hurricane Ida
Nice!
Should make different size bushings to go in the stripper to hold it centered for the big stuff
Thanks for the suggestion

I think the idea about a ring might work. I believe that extra wire is to help get more spacing ?

That's why we heat alu cable before pulling it here. Usually a blower in a tarp around the big boy spool.
It's a pain.
If I never get AL wire again I will be happy. lol
Love the transformer s 😅😅
Me too. lol

I will next time I use them. Basically I got them off eBay and I am running eBay special 110 10,000 psi pump ( Not recommended) lol
Copper wire is jammed down near the chain drive section
Thanks for the info

😂😂😂 Probably. I was extremely tired and that wire was fighting me all the way. lol
I thought aluminum didn’t make sense to strip in your math
That's when the scrapyard mis quoted me .40 for the wire un stripped. Its only .25 so its is worth it.
You might need a mic that it is on bluetooth connected! Just a sujestion. Especial when the noise is too loud! :-D Thx for the video!
Thanks for the suggestion
@@ProjectShopFl Sorry for my spelling! It's not always right!
Yeah I bet that was supper was tough. I had chicken and mashed potatoes and gravy.
😂😂😂😂 Ok thanks for sharing
Man i didnt even get a notification when you posted! I think youtube is unsubscribing me and turning off my notifications for my favorite youtubers
Wow! Well Glad you found the video.
maybe another project you could attempt is a small size bailer for your metals and plastics .
Thanks for the suggestion
Big time aluminum
👍👍
Hey Derek,
Down here in the south we don’t think much of yankies and there yanker ways..
Steve said the south will rise again,
It’s obvious we wants to blow up the chopper chopper machine
😂😂😂😂😂
👍👍👍
good stripping video nice job you to
Thanks!
If the cables were straight i would say cut the peices the length of the can and lay them flat. Like how you cut that ladder up.
Thanks for the suggestion
I don't know what it is they are coating alluminum wire with now days but if you made singles with it your house would have a bullet proof roof that would last forever
😂😂😂😂
Sorry if I missed it but is Steve back for good
Just in town for a minute.
Spud gun
👍👍👍

Do you live in south Florida
@ProjectShopFl Brother, I live in Pakistan and I am a mechanical engineer. I can do whatever you do very well. May God bless you.
Looks like the spool is to close that’s why its running shitty.
It's just supper stop I had a hard time trying to unspool it by hand.
Should of cut the aluminum wire to stand up in the barrel, easier to get out.
Thanks for the suggestion
Brother. Why don't you fix your machines before Steve disappears? Take a break from mining.
I was thinking like that too. Get the forklift together!!
