Hi have a question about electric motors the strings on the motors in sealed units come off easily with one snip then I can pull it off. The strings on other motors not in oil and exposed to the elements and age they have a resin that makes them not fun to get off. I would like to know how other people get the strings off? I was thinking of using a torch but not sure on that one. I have a ocilator and a sawzall. Thanks. I have 124lbs of fractional motors to do 72lbs of small fan motors and not sure on the 9lb motors maybe 30 or more of those. I only get .15 for electric motors so im looking to get copper price and I have to remove the strings.
