Do you know what reading other people's comments would do? Yeah, it would probably help you not make ignorant comments. Why don't you make a video on the way you do it? Be sure to leave all the plastic melting in it.

@@HHRecycling use a little dermal grinder… small but fast at cutting the copper off…. And I don’t make videos cause I try not letting the government know what I’m doing as much as possible…. I don’t like being tracked and spied on….. but I’m not trying to be a butthead …. It’s just common sense…. Small dermal cuts the copper no plastic and no long time to pull the copper…. One and done is my motto…. I find the easiest way as possible…. I’m in a wheelchair…most of the time…

@EdZirul As I have said to other commenters, I get a couple of these a year, so I don't mind spending an extra 15 minutes, and I find it really relaxing, when I am not recording. I don't have a dermal grinder, but I have a regular 4.5". I try to not use it if I can help it, because I have bad lungs and don't like putting the respirator on. I'm not too worried about the government seeing what I do, as I report my earnings through the business and won't be making any money at it for a few years. Everything goes back in to upgrade the property. Thank you for the reply.

Oh, right on. Thanks! Yeah, the copper ones are pretty nice.

Good plan. I try to be in bed by 8 or 9, but sometimes it's nice to just stand there and unwind.

For sure it does. I got approx 3 lbs off all the copper ones I have done, but That's only a handful. I figured it out to around $24 an hour, which is way more than I usually get scrapping.

@@HHRecycling can’t complain about that! Pennies make dollars

@@BushDogScrapper no complaints here, my friend.

Thanks, brother love.

Just relaxing and getting a bit richer. Hope you're feeling better, Brad.

@@markure8793 Thank you, and yes, I do 3 as well but from the vise. I'll have to try it flat as pulling up is a bit awkward. I wish I could find one a week to do. I also don't find a need to cut them, even if I had one a day.

Right on. The ones I get usually have 3 lbs, or very close to it. I don't like using the grinder if I can help it. Especially if there's plastic, but I'm sure it would be faster.

That's a great time. If I was in a hurry I would do that for sure, but I enjoy doing it this way and I get maybe 6 a year, so it's not a huge deal for me to spend the time on it. I was thinking of trying the Dremel on it to minimise the amount lost from cutting with the grinder, but didn't want to take the time to go get it set up.

Thank you.

They're out of washing machines, buddy. Direct drive washers. They're great for just sitting down and pulling wire. Thanks, brother.

@@HHRecycling I’ve never seen one before when I do washers maybe I have the wrong kind then! That sucks!

They're usually on front loaders, but some newer top load have them too.

Anytime, my friend.

You mean that they work the same? All the ceiling fans I have done weren't like this to strip.

They have the same mulit pole configuration ? @@HHRecycling

Ah, I don't understand technical mumbo-jumbo. I just know i can't snip these with my snips like i can a fan motor.

Thanks, buddy. Now I have to try and find a direct drive furnace motor to do.

@@HHRecycling I bet you got one laying around somewhere lol

YAYYYYYY!

Beautiful copper, buddy!

Yes, sir. You know your KZfaq channels, my friend.

@@HHRecycling that I do lol

No, I have never even seen one. I have only seen old school furnace motors. Sorry, buddy.

@@HHRecycling ah ok

@@DavidGS66 interesting. I'd love to see that if you figure it out. Thanks for checking it out.

I've had half a dozen. Half of those were aluminum but I stripped those as well.

Yep. I strip them too, just drops my hourly wage from $24/hr to about 80 cents/hr

You get Paid?? @@HHRecycling

😂😂😂😂

Oh, how come? Just don't have time?

@@HHRecycling Pretty much. That and lack of a shop at the moment. 😥 I will hopefully have a video out later today or tomorrow explaining my current situation. 👍

It makes a mess and uses up a disc. It ends up taking almost as much time, too.

That's what I do. Seems the most efficient method. Also when you cut copper with a cutting disc they last forever. Aluminum is different but brass and copper hardly cause any wear on disc

I did try it, but I only had the grinder with a cutoff disc. It worked to an extent, but took longer and used almost a full disc. Because of the lips, it melted a lot of plastic and hit a lot of steel. Maybe if you had a Dremel tool or something.

@@HHRecycling ya, I could see that plastic being an issue too

Yep. It's the way of the world, now.

Yes, I have heard that in a few comments. I have tried it and decided I like this way better. I only get a few a year, so the extra 5 minutes is worth not having a mess, for me. Less plastic smoke and copper dust in the air. Thanks for watching.
