    Look at the picture and take heed. I used to literally hold/cup the stator in my hand and run right through the windings with a 4.50 grinder. Every once it would bite and pull. Well got lucky until the two times it bit, drug across the windings, and into my hand. Luckily it cauterizes the wound so its doesn't bleed too much. But it is quite painful when the doctor is pulling chunks of disk and copper out of your skin. I leaned the second time as you can tell. The safest method a metal chop saw or a radial arm saw. I'm planning to cut windings soon, so will upload a video demonstrating.

    Funny side note is first time, I did this. I jumped in the truck after wrapping my hand up. When right to the yard to unload. Yard guy yelling and hollering because I dripped blood all over his desk and floor. After I explained I need gas money to get home from the hospital, he calmed down. But he told me I was a fing dumbass idiot and hopefully lesson learned. Well I did it one more time and that was it. Now use the chop saw or radial arm saw for everything. Side note, I picked up a 14" chop saw from a contractor off of craigslist for 50 bucks. Its a rigid and lifetime guareentee. I can return it anytime I want at home depot. A lot cheaper than being one handed for life if extremely unlucky.
