- Hello scrappers and planet lovers. In this video, I will show you how to take apart the stubborn armatures for copper. I will give you some tips and tricks to help remove the copper from armatures that still have the middle steel rod. I will show you how to safely and effectively identify and separate the materials in order to help maximize your profit and divert as much of the material away from the landfill as possible.

Damn, seems like a lot of work for a little copper. Thanks for doing this video and showing the way
My wife is from Vancouver Island but I now know more about London Ontario 😅
Thanks tin man you have helped me no end keep up the good work mate!!
Glad to help you find the videos informative. I appreciate your support and for watching. Stay well and happy scrapping
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing this.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the comment.
You Rock !
Thanks for doing the videos😎
Great video on a subject material we all deal with. Thanks for sharing your tips and tricks with the community.😎😎⛏⛏🔥🔥
Thanks a lot for the demonstration and tips. It doesn't seem to be much copper to be bothered with the removal process, but in doing so, one can find out that it does have a good chunk that adds up.
friend have a great day 👍from Poland👍
Thank you! You too!
I've got a couple of these smaller tight armatures and they are definitely a pain. I will try some of your tricks on them but honestly it may not be worth the effort. Thanks for your content. I am really learning from your methods. Also you are an excellent communicator. Most likely from teaching.
Thank you. I've been stacking precious metals for a few years, and I'm thinking about switching to harvesting scrap.
Great video
Final teardown for 14lbs of armatures: #2 copper 2.09 lbs. ($10.90), tin 11lbs ($1.10)
Under the plastic "cork" there is usually a brass ring around the steel shaft that can be removed easily with a hacksaw.
You copper pays high there. That's a great pay out for 2lbs compared to where I work
Another fantastic video. Love how educational you are with it. Learn something new to help me speed up scrapping ❤
Glad you found it informative. Thanks for watching. Happy scrapping
Super 👍👍👍

I love taking apart vacuum cleaners. I just throw the motors into the electric motors bin.
Good day James Yes interesting Thanks But there is still alot going too land fill Thanks
Oh I agree. Amazing what is thrown out and ends up in landfills
I use a wood chisel to cut the copper and it’s easier to be here to get it out and you’re not making a mess all over waste in copper
I found a circuit board I believe from a car that says two zone switching relay and thermostats my question is there's screws that are magnetic but when you take the screws out the metal underneath isn't magnetic could it be silver?? There were black boxes that I took off that I know have silver contacts in them
Unfortunately I am not sure. Could it be soddering?
Bought an old electric motor at an estate sale yesterday. Bigger than the ones you are showing here. It has a small metal fan blade on the end of it and I can see the copper inside it. Probably weighs about 5 lbs or so. Do you have a video for breaking a larger one down?
I do have a large motor somewhere in the pile. I have to do a little more scrapping to get at it.
@@TinManScrapper No worries, I'm in no hurry. Thanks!
can you melt the armature in a forge and pull the steel out?
hard to skim it out. Some scrapyards do not take melted metals as they question the purity.
Yea, you can heat up the armature and burn off the glue. The copper will easily come out.
Do you export armature?
Because I want
The shipping costs would be a lot because they are heavy.
You may love them but I hate them😂 all that nice looking copper surrounded by stuff I don’t want to deal with. They all go into copper motors for me and I also get .25 cents a pound like you.
I actually came across one that was aluminum
Wow, really?! I guess now that manufacturers are trying to do everything as cheap as possible I shouldn’t be surprised. I do check mine each time, but now I am reallly going to have to be on the lookout. Thanks for the comment.
burn them and its easier
