    Happy Thanksgiving! Scrap prices have gone down so much in the past year or so where I'm at. It's sad... i was making decent $ a year back, now it's hard to make a decent run. I don't do anything as big as you do, more just dumpster diving and grabbing scrap when I see it. I pretty much exclusively grab copper and brass now because the prices have all taken such a fall.

    This vid is so right on time. I just pulled apart my first small stator(6 inches) and only after I totally pulled it apart I noticed the ends of the wire were aluminum colored. Can't tell if it's copper or copper coated alum. Any thoughts? Can you show the cut ends before you scrap the copper please

    • @ProjectShopFl

      I don't think there is any copper coated aluminum, The slack coating they have on the coils look like copper but it's just the insulating coating. If the ends looks aluminum most likely aluminum

  • @btcbob11392
    @btcbob11392 Год назад +2

    I think your greatly over estimating the amount of pressure you'll need to pull that copper. You biggest problem is going to be a way to tightly grab and hold onto the windings. If you get a good grab that doesn't slip, it will pull right out.

    • @ProjectShopFl
