    Unless you have some large HP motors, the small ones should just get sold as is.

    The whole idea is to pull the copper out of the motor. One I get the copper windings exposed, I take a band saw with a metal blade, and cut through the windings that stick out of the motor. Then with a combination of hammer and punch, and prying up on the other side of the windings, I knock the copper windings out of the grooves that hold them in place.
