You da man - thanks for the video. Your machete is way sharper than mine. I tried it for the first time on a smaller motor and there were no camera tricks! Great way to quickly handle smaller motors. Great job!

[@scrapitall200]

You’re welcome! My machete is pretty dull but it works amazingly on smaller stuff. If I ever get a 40 pound motor I’ll give it a try on camera.

[@chrisw1462]

Another small advantage of cutting them with the machete is the 1/8th of an inch (or so) of copper you don't lose to the grinding wheel. Maybe try a thin custom splitting wedge in a hydraulic press?

[@scrapitall200]

I also like that the machete doesn’t create dust and a mess. I’ve been thinking about that exact idea. Great thinking.

[@E-BikingAdventures]

There are machines that do this. There's videos of them on youtube.

[@Car1Sagan]

I was wondering if it might be easier to hammer the machete through the motor lengthwise than radially @scrapitall200 . Also how would the inexpensive $6 machetes at Harbor Freight do?

[@scrapitall200]

The stators are multiple layers stacked on top of one another, this would be the only way to do it. I don’t have any personal experience with using a cheap machete, but I’ve had a few subscribers get back to me and say they work just fine. I would wrap the handle with good tape, the plastic handles will break. Thank you for watching.

[@scrapitall200]

@@BrassIsMyGold thank you so much!

[@justnicem]

Hello BrasslsMyGold I just saw your comment. I looked on line and both models at Harbor Freight have a serrated edge on top. Did that hinder the performance, as far as not having a solid edge to hammer on? Did it hurt the top serrated edge hammering on it? Being two months later are you still using the $6.29 version and how is it holding up? Thanks for taking a moment if you want to answer my question. dan

[@BrassIsMyGold]

​@justnicem Hi Dan. The serrated top edge hasn't hindered the performance, but it does take a good bit of abuse. It no longer looks like it did when it was new. The cutting edge itself is prone to damage, so I prefer to start with an axe and sledge hammer to create a small gap between two of the thin plates. I have found that the sharper you can keep the blade, the easier it cuts through the copper windings. Every now and then, I will sharpen the blade some with my angle grinder and a cutoff wheel. I think the biggest key is having a solid steel flat surface like James uses in this video. Prior to seeing this method done in this video, I really didn't bother with trying to get copper windings out of electric motors. I don't go for the copper in every motor only the ones that I see a lot of that are really no bigger than a motor from, say, a furnace squirrel cage. I used it yesterday afternoon to cut through copper windings from three electric motors. I'm not expecting it to last a lifetime, but for the price I paid 2 months ago, it has paid for itself multiple times over. If need be, I will simply replace it with a new one when the time comes.

[@randomvideowatcher]

I used your method with a slight variation. I use an axe or a hatchet and a small sledge to split the steel and open a crack. Then I use a 7" angle grinder to go through the copper.

[@scrapitall200]

@@randomvideowatcher interesting! How did that turn out?

[@randomvideowatcher]

@@scrapitall200 @scrapitall200 I was successful in splitting the field winding completely in half. Most of the time I could then pry and pull out the windings. In one case I couldn't pull the windings out so I used a metal rod and tapped them out from the other side. In two cases I had to pry the steel off a few pieces at a time because I couldn't tap the windings out or pry them out.

[@scrapitall200]

@@ScrappinLou hmm interesting, I’ve not tried the hatchet with an armature before. I’ve tried it with a stator (outside part) it worked but not as well as the machete. Downside of hatchet, the blade is thicker than machete, but the hatchets thickness is nice for durability. I’ve seen my buddy use a meat cleaver, and it works, but can’t be a cheap one.

It's called batoning. At least that's what it's called when you hammer a fixed blade knife through a log or branch. What exactly is the purpose of cutting these in half? Make it easier to get the windings out?

[@scrapitall200]

Thank you, I didn’t know that. I like to show different ways of doing things, especially if someone doesn’t have power tools, plus cutting them with an angle grinder creates a lot of dust which is messy. The machete works wonders on small transformers that would normally just be easier to sell them as transformers. And yes, cutting the stator in half makes it much easier to remove the copper, especially with the bigger stators that have a bigger gauge copper. Thank you for watching and leaving a comment.

Steel is harder than copper (thanks captain obvious 😅) And when you think about it, you’re only cutting through a few wires per hit. The simplicity of a wedge and hammer. Even side cutters (two wedges) can handle a few wires and that has a fraction of the power of a hammer and machete.💪🧠

You do realize you are cutting only copper. Just cut one end and pull the copper through,most are aluminium now and that is softer.

Hello James Thanks for Glorifying GOD and Jesus in your videos Why can't you just use the machete at the end of the steel? Thanks dan

[@scrapitall200]

Hello Dan. That’s a good question. The machete just ends up pushing the copper down and not really cutting it so by going in the middle, the pressure of the layers of steel together won’t allow the copper to be pushed so it cuts through it.
