    Electric Motors



    Got bored enough to start making videos on youtube. Still not the best at it. but I feel like I'm slowly getting better. Any way I thought Id share How I was breaking down these motors. I saw the Chinese on youtube opening up motors like this and since I now have a plasma for compressors I thought I would try. Works really well actually. I also never even heard of those diamond blades until some guy on here posted about it. so I guess we'll see how they last. I feel like just cutting one motor like that would have ate up a normal abrasive blade. so If your going to use a grinder try and find them Diamond blades. be warned That one does tend to kick a bit going through copper pipe though.

    That's a good video, also good to see was that you are using proper protection.

    I was subconsciously feeling for my 'Harry Muffs' so I could pitch in and give you a hand.

    Thanks I'm trying to get better at the filming/editing part. The breaking things is easy but the filming comes difficult to me. If it came easy though I'd probably be out in Hollywood or on some porn set somewhere putting those skills to work instead of shifting through everyones junk.
    And I did a few of these without a mask but all that burning paint and mud and what ever else is stuck inside of those things was kinda strong. So anytime I use the plasma or torch anymore I just put the mask on. A few minutes with a mask or a few hours (possibly years later on in life) of feeling like someones punching you in the lungs. I'll wear the mask. Also didn't want to have others thinking they're wimps if they mask up just because they saw some guy on the internet not wearing one.
