Just thought I would pass this along. I bought a fence plyer/hammer and tried using it to remove the copper from stators . Actually it worked pretty good. After I cut the copper on one end with a band saw I put the curved wedge end of the fence hammer in the small openings in the copper wire and hit the flat surface with another hammer.
