i personally remove the copper from the stators ant throw the small armature in electric motors barrel and on the big motors i take the copper from the armature and the stator....just what i do. the small armatures are a pain.
Thanks, i did get a half pound of copper from inside the one I had apart. I'll maybe get close to a pound, but maybe just a shade under if i strip the whole thing.
Hi Copper, nice to see a new channel. Defo not worth the effort taking those smaller starters apart, they are a pain in the ass and most of the time not even copper the one you have on the side there looks like aluminium covered in a lacker or coating and most of the time are covered in a glue or adhesive that’s a nightmare to remove as well. Personally I leave them and just take them as a motor, before taking any of that sort of thing apart always do a scratch test if it’s silver under the lacker it’s likely to be coated aluminium. Also transformers from microwaves pretty much always coated aluminium.
Small armatures are far too difficult to pull copper. The adhesive is a big deterant. I'll set those in E-motors and separate the rest. The housing wire is fairly easy to get. I find household appliances like vacuums, blenders, fans, and microwaves.
Nice bit of copper. Good video 👍

I will never look at a starter the same, again!
The ones on the generators at work are massive.
@@CopperEyeJoe hopefully you’re on the list to obtain them when / if they go-up. Big money
Go to scrapitall he has a video on scraping out starters and altinaters . He also gets both parts. Armacher and staters.

Thanks for the advice, I'll check you out.
