No the end caps were steel. And there was a tiny amount of insulated wire not worth weighing. I think the percent of copper was lower on this than on most of the smaller motors I do. Also on many of the smaller motors the end caps are AL as Freonjoe referred to. I have considered using a table saw to cut the coil off. I am wondering what type blade you are using. I would guess a fine tooth plywood type blade.
If I were doing many of these large motors I would buy a bigger angle grinder as IdahoSrapper suggested.
I did it because we have a lot of new members and I find pictures answer a lot of questions. Thanks for looking, Mike.
