Semantics. Common sense will show most people will understand that when I stated "take apart" I was talking about cutting it open. Was not aware you were employed by the verbage police. I also NEVER said a thing about cutting the windings with a cutoff wheel. I use a cutoff wheel to cut open the casing ONLY. And apparently you have not "cut open" many a/c compressors. All the ones I have cut open have a heavy varnish coating on the windings and string binding them and making them difficult to remove. That is the purpose of the varnish remover. It is an experiment to see if I can "work smarter".
