What's inside a Arc welder?

Taking apart two welders to see if they have any non ferrous metals to scrap.

Your camera angle is perfect!

[@eagleeyes5638]

Greetings Florida scrapper. Thank you for taking the time and care of sharing&passing knowledge forward. Camera angle was spot on. Very good video. God bless you always. A family friendly channel yippee

[@chrisurschel6832]

I've seen messy and you aren't very messy yet. LOL! I enjoyed this tear down video. I have received 5 PTAC units from a health care facility and plan on breaking them down for aluminum/copper cores,copper wire, and shred.

[@lia-liz2012]

You're so organized with your taking apart stuff😂

[@DylanSatzger]

Ive definetely learned over the years most things other than hvac scrap isnt worth taking apart...id rather cut main cord and shred spend more time looking for more scrap

[@DavidSmith-yw3sb]

Camera angle was great and now we know the newer stuff like that isn't really worth the time or effort to take apart but I liked watching you take them apart love taking stuff apart myself

[@deborahgould5695]

What may seem boring to you may not necessarily be boring to me. But I do love watching your videos! The camera angle is perfect.

[@cheryldarke8324]

Been a while since I've seen you take something apart. Always loved that. Good job Charles!

[@swampgator2012]

Nice chunk transformers. I didn’t realize you were also named Charles.

[@oyet72863]

I enjoyed your dismantling electronics ! Thank you Charles.

[@anneallison5610]

Thanks for sharing, camera angle was good 😀🇨🇦

[@toddwest8618]

Good morning Buddy

[@suebrown3917]

THE VIEW WAS GREAT. I UNDERSTAND NOW WHY YOU JUST CUT CORES. 👍🤟WATCHING.

[@scooterllm4398]

By the way, this is the best tear down video I’ve seen in quite a while! Thank you!

[@daleh645]

Educational for sure. The second one looked older, I would’ve bet it would be copper…but every is built so cheaply nowadays. God bless 🙏🏼🇺🇸

[@piecesofpete5921]

🤙🤙👍 most all newer welders and such are aluminum,why they burn out quicker 😁✌️

[@joycekeutzer9603]

Great video. It was interesting see what was inside.

[@peeweepowell0320]

Camera angle was good and thanks for showing us now we know

[@BrendaBlystone-ur6fy]

amazing video keep up the amazing job you do Florida scrapper

[@Bonnie-g7g]

Your camera is great

[@cuscrapping]

that was fun to watch. Especially since that is the updated model of the exact welder I have. It's a shame that the transformer was aluminum. However, at my yard, I get $.65/lb for aluminum wire, but only $.45 for clean aluminum, so I still pull all aluminum wire I get. Thanks for the breakdowns!!

[@normakennedy4569]

Florida Scraper I really enjoyed the video. I know it takes a lot of patience to do work like that. God bless your channel.

[@Floridascrapper]

Thanks so much

[@williamgallaher4566]

Great video. Your tutorials are excellent. Thank you. Have a great day and stay strong and be safe everyone 🙏.

[@ryanphillips1388]

In Montreal the big transformer can pass as aluminum irony

[@petermccall9354]

Hi yeah, F.S. We in Australis are finding in some electrical leads there Aluminuim instead of copper in the brand new stuff.

[@johnmize3624]

Its a great video could see everything 😊

[@michellewinkles608]

This was fun to watch Charles, never seen someone take one apart before Cool and love your videos 😁✌

[@YouCoontsSeeMe]

Dang aluminum.

[@Floridascrapper]

At least I got a little bit of brass.👍👍👍

[@donvoll2580]

Good day Charles Up here in Ont. we have alot of on-line auctions. That welder probably would have brought about $30 up here. Also those battery pack boosts sometimes bring 15 untested. Boy the stick welder was even less value Thanks

[@deborahclark1136]

You would think the transformers would be copper because of the heat. May be cheaper, but the items don't last long.

[@jeanodom597]

Awesome job😅😢

[@shanelamell2229]

Thanks for sharing and I enjoyed watching this. Have a nice safe day!!

[@waltwood4113]

Thanks for the video....interesting to think aluminum wire can handle that much heat and electricity without melting #happyscrapping

[@Floridascrapper]

Yeah, really surprised me.

[@maggiecousineau1877]

So disappointing that the motor was aluminum wire instead of copper.

[@colonelgary7248]

That aluminum wire is really extruded aluminum

[@donvoll2580]

Good day from Ontario. Is all aluminum wire extruded ? Thanks

[@cathyshort545]

Great job. You are so organized always.

[@cindybender64]

Mike had a scrap bucket of bass it was worth 50 bucks

[@Floridascrapper]

It ads up pretty fast.

[@iamonearies21]

The older wire feed welders are copper transformers.

[@randaltotten9358]

So many compressors large Motors water pumps and other has gone to aluminum copper coated wiring that I don't mess around of that stuff unless it's old

[@magnushenriksson6580]

Nice video as always. So the scrap yard doesn't want aluminium winding transformer as "transformers"? Seems like they'll have a lot of work cut out for them,scratching the windings of every single transformer to make sure it's copper proper.Or, they skipped the "transformers" thing completely? Kind regards.

[@Floridascrapper]

They check transformers and electric motors to make sure they are copper.

[@keithgriner330]

Interesting.😎👊🙏

[@scooterllm4398]

Stoves, dryers and washers internal wiring is pretty much aluminum. So really not worth taking all that wiring out. Just cut the juicy cord.

[@rubyred8845]

👍

[@tsullivan9869]

Good video. As always, it was entertaining. By the way, what type of pliers are they? I would like to get some myself.

[@Floridascrapper]

Irwin channel locks.

[@BillStarnes]

Was the wire drive working?

[@Floridascrapper]

I have no idea.

[@Kreacher1974]

I took apart 6 vacuums yesterday and got about 15 pounds of small motors and 6 to 7 pounds of cords. What brand of adjustable pliers are those?

[@Floridascrapper]

Irwin. Definitely worth trying.

[@tomrondeau4909]

I was wondering if you guys have to wait 5 days to be paid for your copper. We do in Tennessee

[@Floridascrapper]

No,we get paid the same day we bring it in.

[@tomrondeau4909]

@@Floridascrapper We have to wait 5 business days.

[@JoshuaConnelly-c5v]

Certainly a wast of a wire holder .

[@JoshuaConnelly-c5v]

So waistful
