Scrapping a Modern & Vintage Ceiling Fan - Video by Kenny Chumsky

Here is the Video of a Modern Ceiling Fan:



Here is the Vintage Ceiling Fan:



Just so everyone know! We DO collect Steel Now (Thanks to our wonderful scrapping friends educating us) and if we call a transformer a motor it is because we pretty much call all our items in the category the junk yard takes it. CBM (Copper Bearing Motor)

If you have never scrapped a fan I hope our videos are useful to you!



Thanks,

Its a helluve quicker and easier on the hands after a bit just to grab the angle grinder with the cut off disk. Either hold the stator in your hand or clamp in a vice. Then run the grinder through the lopps. Throw them in the bucket. Then either punch out the rest with a screwdriver, hammer, or just flip around and pull with dykes or pry out with screwdriver.

I definitely agree!!! We actually do have a hand grinder, but were out of blades when we made the vids. Thanks for the advice... I'm sure it will help a few people!!

Believe it or not. Cheapest place I found for cut off disk is advance auto parts. Certain stores carry bosh cut of wheels for the 4 1/2 grinder. They are a 1.89 for the blade. They are made by bosh. That beats harbor freight 5 pack for 10.00 bucks..lol.

That is REALLY Good to know. Thanks!!!

Well I feel like a idiot or something. The discs must be dropping at horror frieght. It was 8.99 for a 5 pack. Today they are on sale....4.99...wow. Dont know how long it will last, but might want to grab them while ya can.
