SDS hammer drill

If I was able to aquire a 10 hp motor then I would do a video and see how it does I just don't get them I have only had one ever.

With the larger motors & generators ... it seems to be common practice to burn them out with a torch or wood fire because they're so heavily varnished. Torch or furnace with a vent hood here in the states. They go old skool with a wood fire in India or Pakistan.

Seen a video of a guy using charcoal to burn off the varnish. he put the coals in the middle of the stator. But this stator was from a 8,900lb generator

Cut one end of the copper coils off first, after incinerating the coils are easy to remove.

I used a wood chisel bevelled edge down to wards the lamination to cut the copper ends off one end.

This guy dont even cut the ends off, he splits the stators with a press and uses hydraulics to pull the copper out. if he cant pull the windings, he does the "when in doubt, cook it out" method.

The perfect tool for the back yard scrapper.

It was a pretty good video. He posted his totals at the end. A bit over five grand for three or four days work was a nice score.

Hmmmm. maybe i will do that. I never got to the motor, ended up going to pick up an oven that day. Just to find some time to make a video.
