Being new to the nonferrous element, I have to ask why an individual should not use a torch. I may not figured it right but we were offered .10 cents a ton for one ton motors and scrapped them and made .20 cents a ton, I think. The first motor was a disaster, melting nonferrous with iron. After we developed a system I thought it was worth it. Like I said, being new to this I have a lot to learn.
P.S. A shear would have been easier but we were up 10 stories trying to get the most bang for our buck.
