    You mean you bought a granulation machine with no copper supply?

    Sould you not have researched that first? They are expensive..

    I think this is the second (at least) granulater to have "difficulty". Also, only the second granulater I've heard about.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    My suggestion - start looking for someone to sell it to. Convince them that there is lots of money to be made with it.

    Man it's like fishing...I think we're being trolled.

    If not, well..I'll change my opinion if the op ever returns.

    Get into granulation with no experience or copper, admit to not reading instructions(cause it's going to tell you in where the copper is...)an then come to a scrap forum an tell us that? Ha! I got some ocean front property smack in the middle of AZ if your interested in buying.

    Sirscrapalot - Wait you want to know where teh copper is? Let me drop everything, give you the answer an just ignore all the advice,tips an tricks that have been posted over the years. I mean hey...why search for such a common answer..would you like it on a silver platter? - Me, sarcasm on.

    We'll let me try to help you, first off where are you located? I have a good friend of mine that does well with his machine. The first thing I can tell you is only process number one wire, if you are referring to harness wire you will lose your shirt and pants do not process harness wire, only number one. Now you have to go out and get it Good Luck.

    If so I'll give him the snowman I built in Tucson...

    Bridge, an Alcatraz...I'd turn into a bar. Kick ass bar. Ha!

    Maybe is why they won't let me restore old buildings...
