I have a few motors but didn't much fancy stripping them. Always thought it was too difficult. I go scrapping on a bike. Yeah a bicycle lol. But it's a hobby for me and I do okay. I'm gonna give this method a go with the motors. I always support fellow scrappers, liked and subbed.
@@johndowe7003, no I dont use a trailer. I basket at the back is enough for me. I also have a backpack and a bag to hang on the handlebar should I get a really good day.
Grinder and long bar to pull them out takes about 1 min 2 tops this whitout explaining would take up to 4/6 min so for evry 1 u do ill make 3 count out my copper and ur copper end of the day. Then yes i rather make a mess
@@hendrikoo7893 grinder is the standard way ive been doing it, takes longer to cut than to snip and loses copper by grinding. I sweep up the dust to melt later when the jar is full. Will be snipping it from now on with the difference of buying a decent cable cutter as my bolt cutters have gaps in the jaws. Also to pull the wire out ill use a slide puller with a hook on the end.
Ive been cutting 1 end off w/ a sawzaw. Never thought of bolt cutters and mine are right there in front of me when Ive been doing it. Thanks, I will try this next time.
Good question. I really have not tried to remove the windings from a motor armature. Due to me not really receiving many of those types of motors. Most of those motors (such as drill or power tool motors) are so small anyway, I really don't think it's worth removing the windings from those types of motors and I just toss them in a motor bin. If I were to get some larger motors, of that nature, I would certainly try to find the best way to remove the windings from them.
I'm a scrap girl I just stripped a a thing like that and pretty much did the same thing with a knife and screwdriver took me a while thanks for the video
Hey man don't get upset .When a coil wound we have to bind it and insulate with a shellac and bake it slowly in a oven.after that coil gets hard and solid.it'll be very difficult to remove again unlike in your video. the coil you have removed seems not burnt totally and not insulated as how I said.any way you are doing nice job and a video.Keep it up!
That looked to be in good condition and typical of how hard the average stator winding is to pull out. Fridge motors are way easier, they bathe in oil all their life and slide out easily with all that lubrication.
great video as always i use a grinder and a zip cut blade nice clean cut next to the steel flip over and start tugging these are a real pain in the azz to pull the wire from
Good video. I've also seen the windings cut with a sawzall on one side, then yanked from opposite side. Curious...I noticed that there are 4 thumbs down votes. Why would someone give negative on an opportunity too learn?
I believe the reason for the dislikes is because some ppl think this is a motor winding vid and can't read tittles. Other ppl just hit dislike for the sake of hitting it. Thank you for your comment. :)
The answer to the DISLIKE question is a complicated psychological discussion, why some people are actually angered when some people do something they never could hope to, why some people contradict everything, poke fun at everything, hate everything, etc. The short answer is: some people are just miserable dicks.
times are getting tough been considering scrapping for the last couple of days any bamm just like I see a heavy old school microwave is this a message from up above?
Either heat the core on till the glue has softened, or cut both sides of the windings. Wrap them around your pry bar several times and pull hard. The winding pretty much always come out, no matter the type of motor, or size. There is always those stubborn windings that will not release from the core.
When you add on the first step of removing the motor casing, that adds a few more minutes to the process. However, 10 minutes per motor is pretty good. Also, this is No. 2 Copper since the copper windings have been treated with lacquer
I got one lying in my kitchen where I want to remove the copper wire to make new coils for a diy alternator. Thought I found an answer here x) I don't think there would be much I could do with them after this x)
Thanks Bro. just picked up my first washer motor today ...bit of a grunt getting the little basterd out ..had to hack saw it in two ..now I'm down to the windings ...I guess I will try the cut one end and pull em threw method as it looks like this is the easiest method for me being in an appartment ( no shop with vice) ..gotta do it dat way ...you sound like a West Coaster ....OK better quite gabbing and get on with the show ..cheers to all my fellow scrappers out there ..probably one of you is the guy that gets to some of the TV's before me ...got to love them big sonys ...they are killer ..got 2 the other day ....check out my site I got lots of interesting videos ...
You know, I can clean 10 times the copper with a large metal file ground down to a point and sharp like a knife for aprox 4" at a taper. start the point into the center of the winding and cut as you pry it to the open side then turn it over and use the other end to pry it out of the stater. Hope this makes sense, 28 years in the scrap business and I know it is fast.
That will work for concentric or "basket" wound stators ,but lap wound coils only release if the previous coil is removed first untill reaching the span. For that reason an air hammer and a cutting tip focused use where the coil and the slot meet is the fastest way i have seen for that winding.
I did it all by brute force and physical strength. I didn't have an air chisel and angle grinders only fill your shop with stinking, choking smoke. The only thing I wasn't ever able to remove the windings from, with my method, were automotive alternators. Other than that, my method, using minimal tools, worked efficiently, took little time and didn't owe my anything.
It would depend on the size of the motor.. If everything seems to be really tightly wound and it's a fairly small motor with a heavy coating. I would just toss the motor on your motor only bin. If the motor is much larger and you feel you can get the windings out in a relatively reasonable amount of time. I would either beat the coating with a hammer or burn the shit off in an incinerator, then proceed with cutting the windings and so on...
I just use a cutting disc on the grinder , straight through the one side and then what you did only easier because my ends are not spread out ,it takes about two minutes.
Хобби
thanks for sharing that technique..will save a fortune in cuting discs now
Great video. Love it. No power tools needed. Just know how and right tools.
Finally someone who gets it.
A lot easier than what I was doing. Thanks for taking the time out to share.
Of all the videos I have ever seen on this,your methods are the best .
Best video on this subject thank you very much!!!

never underestimate how valuable your information is. Thank you for the vid!
Awesome! Everyone says to use a grinder and all I could see was making a mess. Thank you for this awesome tip with the bolt cutters!

Good for you! We need to know how to recycle and copper is a great example. Thank you!
That is the simplest way I've ever seen !! Cheers !!
Thanks for posting I have all the tools for the job now I am on my way thanks to you
Thank for this info. Alot simpler. I didnt know they pulled out.
Wow my husband and i have been killing ourselves trying to get these things appart thank you for the info
Awesome tutorial. Thanks for making it and posting.
you made it look easy. thanks for the demo.
OMG. That was genius. I love that bar. Now why didnt I think of using my bolt cutters. GENIUS.
Thanks for posting that tutorial. It helps!
Thank You so much your video has helped me tremendously!!
That's the best method I've seen other then machine puller but your method is clean and fast
Well explained! Thank you for sharing!👍
Thanks for the lesson loved it good teacher
This is what I call useful video 👍
Very great video and great step by step process. thank you.
Thanks dude for the info on scraping the electric motors. they were eating my lunch.
thank-you,i have always had a hard time with that!
I started out being negative until I saw you jerk out that clump of wire in 2 seconds! The best I've seen yet!!!
awesome !!! I was putting them in the fire pit , to make it eazy . your way is so much better !!!!! Thank you !!!!!
Thank you :)
I seen a guy use a grinder to cut one side. then pulled it through. I think your way is better, No waste. Thanks for sharing.
Yup exactly good method
I'm subscribing because you don't take shit from the youtube peanut gallery.
Ive been cutting 1 end off w/ a sawzaw. Never thought of bolt cutters and mine are right there in front of me when Ive been doing it. Thanks, I will try this next time.
You make it look easy. Thanks for showing us.
thank you from central florida!
Cleanest and quickest I've seen.

Good job on the tear down. Thumbs up
u see u've helped your Australian Cousin out thanks Matey, show us more we'll be watchin matey
Nice job thanks mate will try this method next time
Thank You.
Thanks much very good technique.
Fastest and best method I've observed yet. Kudos Vicsonvee!
great video best way ive seen gona try it cheers

Thank you buddy, you just save me a lot of time and made me money! Just clicked like & Subscribed!
Thank you for this video,,, I have saved up over 1,000 pounds of motors and I dreded trying to get the copper out,, I really do thank you Vic.
your the first one i see, that does that same way as me.........good work
Great video thanks for the information
Awesome info brother!! I'll use this for my next motor that I scrap out!
Best tutorial video thanks

These dislikes come from the lazy useless eaters that couldn't figure out how to find food in a grocery store.
I’ve spent countless hours on RUclips and never look at the thumbs up or down section. Who cares. Especially if it’s not ur video. Lol
Great vid thats the way i will try it now nice job and thank u for the vidd
Ty for the lesson bud
times are getting tough been considering scrapping for the last couple of days any bamm just like I see a heavy old school microwave is this a message from up above?
i stripped 50 of these in 2 days and i had some nice blisters nice vid
Thank you :)

Love youre only using hand tools.
Thank you so much !
good idea im going to have to try that i have one that big sitting in my shed
thanks for that bro your the bomb !!!
man, where have you been. Thanks.
thanx a lot. Your information will get me paid.

OK I have learned to do that but can't figure out a way to strip an alternator rotor any tips
awesome! that helps me out alot!
I like your method. I have an off topic question. Copper Wound Amatures: Have you found a way to get the copper outta these guys? Thanx: Shawn
Thanks for the tip..
Can we apply this same method for smaller motors?
Doesn't leaving the strings attached put the copper type in a different catagory?
I prefer just cutting across the top with an angle grinder and thin blade, so much quicker imho ... great vid and subbed!
That was lots of copper wiring, what kind of motor it came out ?
Awesome. Exacty what I was looking for! That copper stands no chance now! Lol
Great job !
Holy shit. Houdini couldn't have gotten out of that iron core faster!
Wow I like that!
Great vid..
Thanks for the info

What do you reccomned for motors dipped in what seems like a varnish type resin?
It would depend on the size of the motor.. If everything seems to be really tightly wound and it's a fairly small motor with a heavy coating. I would just toss the motor on your motor only bin.

What if there's cast iron cages around the core, I don't see any screws to loosen them. Looks like it's a solid piece
thank you,i just learn how to get the copper out of the transformer!
It's nice to be able to do things with your hands :D
Thank you
Thanks man!
Nice method, have you seen my method to remove copper windings,great video
THANK YOU!!!
Wow that was much easier than first guy I watch lol 😂👍 thumbs up tho
Good to watch
Nice video
I did the long long way. I did it the hard way to make sure the wire stays high quality.
I put a flat head between each metal plate
