Ok, got a call today out of the blue to pick up a shredder the company no longer needed. Started to break it apart and find a good sized electric motor inside. I'm going to see if I can get some power wired up to this thing to see if I can get the motor to turn after I get it detached from the shredder. Any good ideas for a use for an electric motor like this? I'm thinking of trying to hook it up to something I could use to bale/compress plastic.
Looks like: 120V 900W motor, I don't see a output rating in horsepower so not sure what it can really do.
Second question relates to separating gold pins from boards - I got a heat gun thanks to your guys discussions and that is working good to tap the pins out if they are soldered in - but I have these boards from Cisco equipment that aren't soldered, they almost have a little clip on the backside of the board holding them in. Anyone found a quick and easy way to get the pins out? I was thinking a dremel along the back side would be messy but would probably work.
