Hi. Your post triggered my PTSD. Im 56 and have been using cut off wheels for a few decades. I also took off my guard so I could get in spaces better. Never had a problem until the last year. Was cutting off a chain link fence that was nailed to these telephone poles. Was cutting all day and was done except one strand of chain link was still nailed so I had one more cut. Leaned over cut the last chain link and the the blade exploded and chunk the size of jagged quarter went into my wrist pretty deep. Was afraid to pull it out and drove to the emergency room with it in. They Xrayed it and were not sure if it was in a artery or not. When they pulled it out they had the vascular surgeon on standby and the crew were in full suits so they wouldnt get blood spray on them. Luckily it didnt hit anything major so they stitched it up and away I went. Alittle bit of post tramatic stress with this cutoff wheel now. Got over it somewhat and last week was cutting off a chunk of aluminum and the cutoff wheel jumped and went across my thump and back to the emergency room I went. More stitches, 7, and a tight tendon that will have to stretch in time. Ive used this thing for 30 plus years never with a worry. My luck ran out. Guess my point is be careful. I dont think its worth it for the copper. I have more skills then time so I will get my money a safer way. I look for the easy metal and money now. PS I was warned a few times throughout the years about cutoff wheels and blew them off. Thanks

I love you man i have a few hundred ive held on too i appreciate you my friend

Question for you? I'm using harbor freight cut off tool, electric. They just don't last long anymore. How about you?

Super pro

I found a what looks like a engine with a copper transformer inside of the compressor I was cramping if you find one of those can you do a video on how to take apart the engine thing

His making $24 yo $32 an hours minus the supplies not counting the other metals. That's if they pay $2 a pound for copper and doing 4 compressors per hour

Does the oil have PCP contaminates in it? Also can you use the oil for a lubricant in a pump can?

It’s 3.15 right now

Just a fyi....a plasma cutter works way faster and it's safer, i can cut roughly 10-12 With 1 tip for the plasma cutter.

Sir how much profit can i make in a fridge compresser and plz tell all metals part in fridge compresser I want to start fridge compresser scrap business

Hey Paul we are hiring!

You didn't need to cut the other end wires off. Those wires slide out easy by using a hook shape rod, pulling the copper loops on one end. Put the stator in a large vise first to hold it though. More cutting = less copper. And using 1mm thick blades makes all the difference too. Looks like you needn't cut the top off at all. The difference between heavy and light steel ain't worth the discs getting used. But then they're not all arranged the same inside. Last one I opened, cut the top off, slit the side and the motor slid straight out when I upended it. Next time I'll drill the top and drain the oil first as I cut them on their side!

How much copper in one this compressor

Where I buy this scarps? In uk

How many kilograms copper in this compressor?
