    I knew there had to be a easier way . I have struggled with these motors for a while. Yes even tried a grinder with a cutting wheel. I'm going to check this out. Thank you !

    PERFECT! Have spent hours trying to get the copper out of one of these and decided it wasn't worth it. Definitely gonna try this. THANK YOU.

    awesome, tired of scrappers throwing copper away, some look at this thing as not worth it, anything with copper in it, never throw it out, put it in the "figure out later" bucket or whatever you have. Someone somewhere will have the answer or you will figure it out, options for extra money are everywhere. Will put all these motors aside, got some electrics to strip and a bloody fan motor, seen how to do those the hard way, finding economical ways to better use my time!

    Are you melting down the copper too?? I've been doing it since after lockdown lifted & was able to go back to work, I'm up to a lil over 100lbs of reclaimed copper in a bunch of 3.5-5.25lb ingots & I'm LOVIN it!! I don't have much on my channel about it, but I got a 10kg furnace from a company called Devil Forge, it runs an 8kg crucible & I've got all the tools to pour & clean up the bars.. I've also done a bit of aluminum & some brass too, it's a LOT of fun & it IS an expensive hobby, but once I hit my mark of 300lbs, I'll start making my money back from selling the copper to start buying silver stocks & physical silver.. The 10kg model I have set me back about $600 & the crucibles were roughly 30 each, the clamps were 75-100 each (you need one for extraction & one for pouring) then the gloves I got, rated for 1500°+ were maybe 50-75..

      Cooking as in an OVEN or cooking as in a fire? Only problem (if you mean fire) is most scrap yards won't buy burnt copper. If they do, the price is much lower.

      Well even though you attacked i won't attack back by saying something like "it is sad that i have to share a planet with morons like you, who ,while castigating me as someone who knows zero of what i say , completely misses the point of collecting cans as being "green" and planet-saving and also jumped to the erroneous assumption/ conclusion that i dissuade myself and others from scrapping when in fact i was commenting only on the particular process involved in the removal of copper from motors and stators/armatures-i myself just redeem them as is.

      @@markmark1078 First, if you want to use big words, please use them correctly. I would ONLY be castigating you FOR being one, not AS being one...lesson #1. Your comment WAS the first attack, and has NOTHING to do with saving the planet, your comment was only about making the most money....lesson #2. Always use an upper case "I" when referring to yourself...lesson #3. You can not dissuade yourself, you can only dissuade others....lesson #4. Never refer to yourself twice..."I myself" is wrong. Myself is a reflexive pronoun. It’s called that because one of its uses is to reflect the action of a verb back onto the subject, as in ‘I’ve hurt myself’.....lesson #5.... stop watching so much Harry Potter!!
