Nice manual method.
Myself? Angle grinder with cut-off disk. Half the time. Wear safety glasses! And DO NOT cut the string first....it helps hold it all together for the cut.

I think this is a nice way to do it, for who don't have electric tools.Originally Posted by Enoch43
Thanks for sharing your way to do it.

is it worth more to take the copper wire out of the coil
Rural scrapper
Chop saw does wonders for this process !
Alvord iron and salvage
3rd generation scrapper and dam proud of it

Are you serious, take it out and you have #2 clean and who knows what they pay for the coil, maybe motor price.
Big difference. Read, read the answers are already here.

Value of Fridge compressor as mixed metal/iron = NZ$1 (thats IF they take them, most don't)
Value of fridge compressor after the Coppers removed NZ$0.90 cents
Value of Copper removed from Fridge compressor NZ$6.50
Cost of Grinder & disc per compressor NZ$0.40 cents
Profit of NZ$7.00 per compressor for your time taken.

As with any other scrap deciding how far you're going to break it down depends on the individual and how much material you have to process. Personally I remove copper from motors like the guy in the video. It only takes a few minutes and you have some nice #2 copper. I learned the hard way to always check first and make sure it is copper and not aluminum.

8 minutes to gut a small stator is too long, get out the angle grinder, hammer and screwdriver for petes sake
I buy and sell all types of scrap and escrap. I buy specialty and hard to sell escrap. I buy resale items. PM me or contact me at jghilino@hotmail.com
I AM ACTIVELY BUYING ESCRAP OF ALL TYPES. BOARDS, RAM, CPUS AND MUCH MORE
Too long, I cut off one end on a bandsaw, then press out the rest. 2 minutes at most.

This is not really an "easy" way to do this job.

I use a grinder. Sawsall tends to rip and pull at some of the strands. Band saw only works if its a good one, a lot of the cheap ones bind up on stuff like this.
As to weather its worth it, it depends on the motor some have more copper than others. I like fan motors from the osculating fans.

Matt..shh! Now everyone will be out collecting fans!
Sirscrapalot - Loves some of those fan motors.

just some advice, add a vice to this project
Matt hopes none of his fan motors are cheating on him with Sirscrapalot

Thanks for the video, it was very informative.
This is a hard business to be in without power tools. I picked up a 4 1/2" grinder for $20 from HF. It's been dropped, drugged across the floor, left out in the rain, the handle broke off, etc and it keeps chugging along. Probably one of the better $20's I've ever spent.

I agree wiyh Idaho. 4 1/2" grinder from HF is the second most used electric tool I have. The first most used tool I have is a cordless screwdriver from Walmart for 20.00$
