Channel lock type pliers are directional which is why they are so effective.
Scrap yards in Florida can not buy burned copper. I found out the hard way.
Where can I get this machine
I got mine from ebay
That was one hell of a motor. Big one did all right. Looking forward to the next one. 👍👍🙂🇨🇦
Im doing a giant copper transformer next!
Great video nice copper that you have there I say it's up to you weather you keep or sell it if it was me I'd keep it and can't wait until next video thanks for sharing Matt
I think im gonna hold it for now
@@midwestsmelters190 cool
What are the prices for copper where you are selling it at
I havent priced anything in awhile but i know bare bright is under $4 a pound
I'd keep it and keep adding weight to it
I think thats what ive@deanmackley4520
hold
I think that is a very good idea im leaning that way
Looking great m8
Thank you! I sure hope you enjoy the videos.
Screw it hold it. But that's me I don't turn in mine unless I have 500 lbs or more
I think your right. Might be just a rainy day fund
Also that transformer looks sweet!!
Im excited about it. I hope it makes a good video!
Very nice !! I would sell it!! Where do u get all that BIG stuff...the 1st bucket?.. also i like short vids!! Take care from PA
I get alot of it from work i buy it or they just throw it in my pickup
It’s up to you to hold it or not. I am going see if prices get above 4 before I sell. It’s $3.70 in Chicago.
Im 5 hours south of you. I havent even priced it since the prices came down. Thank you for commenting!
I was just given 2 motors about 5 times that size. Now trying to figure out how the hell to deal with them! 1400 lbs combined
I have a video on here doing a 700 lb motor i believe
Thanks, ikl check it out!
Hopefully it helps you
What is prepared?
Prepared steel is steel thats less then 3 feet by 18 inches by 1/8" thick.
Gotta love the cooler ladder 😂
Gotta love the cooler ladder 😂
Thats what was handy lol....to bad it was empty
Sweep you floor the place is 🐷sty no need to breath in all that shit lung health is very important I have end stage COPD from breathing in shit like that good video.
Its messy but i do messy work in there everyday. Thank you for watching
Great video thanks for sharing Matt
Thank you tim!
@midwestsmelters190 you're welcome Matt
Good job 👍
Thank you....thanks for watching
Great video nice stairs can't wait to see it done doing a great job thanks for sharing Matt
Thanks tim. Its a ton of work.
@midwestsmelters190 you're welcome I bet it is
Looking forward to the silver process
Do you know if the contact is solid silver...or silver plated
@@midwestsmelters190 I don't know for sure, but i believe they are all different. Some have it plated and some are all silver.
Cool video, i use the bolt that i unscrewed to punch out the insert, instead of the punch. Works great!
I was worried i couldnt get the bolt back out
Lots of copper . Lots of work , but it'll add up to a lot of copper in the future and you'll be able to make a great haul to the scrap yard .
When prices come back im definitely looking forward to it
People think the prices are crazy now wait and see if heels up Harris and tampon tim get in office we ain't seen nothing yet they still have room to completely run this country into the ground and thats thier plan people better wake up
Nice job matt
Thank you. This one was fun
Faster with a 2 lb sledge
I guess thats one way too do it
I have some 3 phase cable, but has-been in the sun for about 12 years, the outer plastic is so hard that my cable cutters will not cut it, any ideas how I can remove outer sheath to get at the wire for stripping?
You can try a grinder with a cutt off wheel.
Smash with a hammer 🔨.
OK 🎉
Thanks for watching
Great video nice chunk of copper thanks for sharing Matt
Thanks tim. Thank you for watching
You're welcome Matt
Nice vid man!
Thanks david. Im sorry i havent posted in a minute life has definitely gotten in the way for a couple weeks.
Easily? Really?
I didnt think it was too bad
1 way to do it. My yard down grade for that
Im really glad mine dont
Just take it to the power washer car wash
They may frown on that
Just power wash it
That would work
You got to clean burn wire
My yard doesnt require it
Number two copper is not too bad either$3 a pound
All copper is worth decent money
Some places are $4
Thats a great price
I'm I'm in Missouri three dollars and 30 cents a pound
Thats what im getting currently
Burning the stator from an electric motor is not the same as burning wire. There’s no environmental impact and any company that rebuilds electric motors will burn the stator and armature before pulling the wire. I don’t put my stators on a fire, I use my torch with a rosebud tip and control the flame to the sections I’m pulling out. My yard knows the difference between burnt wire and stator wire. Ask your yard if they’ll distinguish the difference.
My scrapyard does not take burned copper. It’s an environmental issue anyway!
Burnt wire is actually different then burning the stator
Awesome job 🔥🔥
Thank you!
Nice to see someone using their hands without the rubber gloves
I cant stand gloves and i catch alot of flack for not wearing them lol
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you for watching
Did anyone else notice the black widow spider eggs on the bottom of that motor case ?
I know i didnt!!!
How you know they were black widow?
@@aaronmiller7982 that's what they look like a small cotton ball, my metal shop was full of them, had to call orkin, lol 😂
@kentuckytrapper780 ive never saw that kind of spider here. Im not saying there not here ive just not saw one. Brown recluse is pretty common
@@kentuckytrapper780 I've got them all over my property. Never noticed the egg sacks.
This is what happens when you use to long of a blade and the saw nose is away from stator and you blade dipped into the metal fins
It is a little long but its all i had on hand other then some cheap dewalt blades
Deablos are super but i know how you feel bud
@davidkirkman2223 at 30 bucks for a blade i try too use it all up
Nice job matt. And i agree way to hot to be melting anything. I havent done a melt in almost 6 months. Great job keep it up
Thanks philip. The way things have been you lose money when melting
Its a melting channel in description then why no melting video? If you are not a melting channel then change the profile pic and give something else
There is melting on here u just have too go back a few videos. Its too hot too melt anything right now.
Chill out
Please add urdu language in video caption ❤❤❤
I will try
Awesome video nice copper wire thanks for sharing Matt
Thanks for watching tim!
@@midwestsmelters190 you're welcome
Big chunk of copper! Awesome video !!!!
I cant wait to finish it thats for sure
But he spent so much effort and electricity getting it then selling it he makes almost nothing.
@xcalibertrekker6693 the return is actually pretty good and copper prices are still really high
@@midwestsmelters190 Well i'm actually glad to hear that no reason this stuff should not be recycled and you properly compensated for it. So many shady individuals and dealers out there hard to believe or trust anyone nowadays.
@xcalibertrekker6693 thats no kidding ive had to switch scrap yards before because they tried cheating me on weight grade or price. Its a shame
