- Hello scrappers and planet lovers. In this video, I do an experiment to see if separating the #2 copper from the shell of the armatures is worth the time , effort, and money. I will also show you some tips and tricks to help you separate the metals to help maximize your profit.
Here are some other links to videos mentioned:

Thank you for your hard work!
nice n thorough breakdown.
Excellent demonstration and showing the process. I do agree that, when I did this, some were easier than others to take apart. You also showed that some is not worth the time spent.
Here in South Africa we burn them to remove the glue and take them out easily
It's at the discretion of the scrapper as to the value of their time.
Great video, thanks for the info its good to know.
That was an amazing video. I been wondering about those and you answered a lot of questions I had. Cool
Used 1.5 grinding discs (around 70 cents)
Thanks! I have a few of these from my grandfather and I kept wondering if it was worth it. I think another factor is whether you are set up to this regularly or if you just have a few lying around as a one-off. For one-offs it really doesn't seem worth it.
I find them fun too take apart but I personally don’t think it’s worth the time
Those bearings on the shaft are Red Brass.
hello both, I am confused........ Those bearings are odd. I have a motor from the 80s that I scrapped and I have two of them. They are not yellow, they are not copper color, they are not something I can Identify. Color scratch test, metallic brownish grey color, says platinum but they are magnetic. I am baffled. I asked Okie Scrapper but he hasn't answered.
@@coppertopper If they are magnetic, they are coated steel.
yeah, but not clean brass, just a thin layer
The round ball on the shafed is offien red brass and is more than yellow brass at the scrap yard.
Starter motors are worth it they have thicker windings
hello my friend tinman.. I would like to ask you about the laws related to establishing a electric motors and radiator recycling busines in Ontario, and are there strict laws related to buying and selling from scrap yards?
What kind of scale is that
I am using a small kitchen scale or a postal scale for under 7 lbs of material. Anything 10+ lbs is done on a human weight scale for approximations in lbs.
