Im gona be doing them. great video and it is worth the time
Thanks bro ya I just need a good drill bit
I do them all the time you got a stubborn one for the first one
Thanks I'll keep doing more I just gotta find a good drill bit to drill a hole in bottom to drain oil
@@bigcountryscrapper6885 lay them on there side for a day I use a bucket and a bbq grill the crap will drain thru the hole on the side where it used to be attached
@@nicejunk666 ah okay I'll give that a shot thanks for the advice bro
Some of them can be done quicker than that Ian Matthews did 15 years ago. She said it was worth it.
Thanks
If you do them more often than you will get faster at it this is worth it as far as I'm concerned thank you for sharing this three stars
Thanks
Very nice video thanks you sir
Thanks for watching
Thanks for sharing, guys. If I may ask, what model number Dewalt chisel are you using?
Not to sure
Cut the compressors until it is no longer worth the time. At some cost vs. benefit point, you will be able to make more doing something else than you would to cut those apart. You also didn’t calculate the time and expense to clean up all that oil, lol. Thanks again for sharing.
Thanks for watching
Even if you decide to not take them apart, making the video was important.😊
Thanks I apreshate that
Ive done a few of these smaller one's ! If you cut around it then make a couple cuts up the side on both sides itll make it easier for the top to come off. GREAT video brother, keep uo the good work!!
Can you give me the info on that hammer drill/chisel please ?
Thanks
@@scrappingonthefly77 I just know it's a 20V dewalt
@@bigcountryscrapper6885 ok ill check into getting one !! That thing seems nice !
@@scrappingonthefly77 it sure is and saves so much time and effort
That's a lot of work. That one gave you a hard time though. To each their own. It is up to the individual if they want to break them down or take them in whole. Great video brother.
Thanks bro
O yea
Ty
I have a bunch to do. Good to see this info.
Thanks ya I got tons to do now after seeing the profit on it
Dang I can't seem to get here when you are on
Hey
Why did you wait until it was all the way cut open before checking the windings to see if they were copper or aluminum?
How els would I check it?? I had to cut the top off to get to the motor
lets ggggggooooooooooo
Ty
Watch the empire of dirt he made a couple videos on taking compressors apart. There’s money to be made once you refine your method and lessen your time per unit
Thanks I'll check it out
Hey brother can I give you a suggestion before you start cutting them open drill a couple of holes in the bottom and set them somewhere where they can drain the oil out and let em just sit there for a couple of days be alot easier then
Ya iv realized this lol...thanks for the tip I just gotta find a drill bit that will drill threw these things
Or drill a big hole and drain it quickly
@@bigcountryscrapper6885 drill a small hole first then widen it with wider drill bits
@@ScrappingScotland ya I gotta get some drill bits
Good info
I’ve been cutting off the tops
If u cutting tops then mise well get the motors
Roasted Rooster, I am dying right now!!! ROFLMAO!!! Awesome video guys!
Thanks bro glad u enjoyed it
Well, we both worked but when she got home at 8, we had a couple of good hours. Thanks, brother.
👍
@@bigcountryscrapper6885 Hahaha, I was trying to figure out where that reply to Road Hog went. That is weird. Thanks!
@@wannabescrapper72 ah
That’s a hard one to justify that’s for sure! I wonder if those diamond cutting disks would last longer I know they do cost a fair bit more hmm
I been wondering the same
If you could use a plasma cutter you can cut your time by a lot but still have to remove the copper
Ya I.dont have hydro in my unit so that would require a generator and a plasma cutter
46 minutes to go 🎉🎉
Heck ya bro
Great video. I still cut them apart for fun. Last time I did 17 and 2 were aluminum. I only get $0.05 per lb for shred
Ah nice and sucks on the shred price tho
Best of luck guys.
You may work more on video quality. Thank you
I will work on it ty
I'm subscribing. Looks like you guys don't get overly serious. Just a hobby for me .
Ya its mostly a hobby for us aswell just to make lil money to invest down the road....ty for joining our channel
Cut just below the weld, nearer the top. For the ones that dont just slide out, a cut up one side to release the grip of the case. Notice how the blade digs in and kicks back? You're holding the grinder wrong and pushing it against the direction of the wheel which wears heavily on the disc. Looks as if it's your first attempt so I'm not critisizing you- keep at it and you'll get faster and familiar with the different internal layouts. I'd have that open with less than a single 4" 1mm thick disc. The compressor motors at leadt are faster to pull the copper out of because the oil kept it nicely lubed. Battery tools suck on these jobs- use a corded grinder!
Thanks my friend ya its 1st time scrapping 1 of these
Drain the oil first & Use a metal blade, Cut vertical & along the side by the motor to remove. I think you could do 3 easy per hour, I sold most of mine for 32 to 38 cents per pound
Great idea vertical sounds like a good idea
if you get a decent bench to work on and a bigger grinder to cut the cases open you could process alot more and safer. Using the grinder vertically so you are using the weight of the machine will also help. thank you for the content
I agree and I'm looking into a better work bench
Better tools like the torch will speed things up tremendously. Personally would just scrap them as a sealed unit
Ya but I only get shred tin price
Yes sir they are worth taking apart me and dad take them apart to get the copper out of them buddy and throw the rest in the shred pile great video buddy!
Thanks bro
@@bigcountryscrapper6885 welcome buddy!
To me it's not worth your time. You could be using that half hour to make way more than the $13 scrapping other things, booking pickups etc. Just my opinion. Great video!
I agree aswell
If u got a Diamond blade they last so much long but there 20 a blade I have time to cut them open is it really worth the time I don’t think so with all oil u get everywhere’s cut it like a pro no nothing I must me pro at this because my hands r bad lol
Ya I was gunna look into 1 of them blades
I would just shred even if you could do it in 4 min unless your saving them up for dead periods of no scrap
I was thinking of just saving them for when I have nothing els to do
Hey broki
Hey
🐲💨💥LFG!!! Giddy Up!!!🌮🎲✨
Thanks
Too much time spent I get it done in 4 mins😂😢😮
This was 1st one iv done im sure ill get faster over time I hope
TOTAL BS Man... No way you can do those in 4 minutes...Post a video you LIAR.
Sorry man but that is a terrible job of grinding and opening that compressor. I don't know where to begin to telling you all you did wrong. You need to watch some videos instead of making them. Again sorry, but it is what it is.
I apreshate the honesty I tried my best will do some research
@@bigcountryscrapper6885 I'm no expert , just a hoppy scrapper. I lay them on the side and cut them open going around the top like you do. But cutting a bit higher gets you past the winding and lets you cut into open space.
Then one cut down the side ( can usually see an open spot or slot looking down inside ) mark that on the outside and you will again cutting into open space.
One cut down to close to the bottom is usually enough . Can take a chisel into the side cut near the bottom to help spread it a little.
That is usually enough to loosen up the winding cluster but it may need a bit of forcing it out by inserting the chisel in the cut and tapping the winding out .
But I've seen various types of compressors and they are not all the same so it does take different methods but this seems to be a standard way to try first. Looks like you got some good scrap there . I don't take it too serious.
@@garykemper366 thanks for the tips my friend I will give that a try
You probably have a better method than me on other items but I've been doing some of these lately . I think Menards has a good buy on cut-off wheels but I haven't checked around a whole lot.
@@garykemper366 ty I check em out
