    Funny you mention both being with copper, the very old motors were wound that way! With energy being in mind these days modern motors have come a long long way! Using less electric to get more horse power! But that is another subject all together! I am not just a scrapper, I am a HVAC tec that scraps. It is a great way to unwind while making a profit!

    I have a few questions regarding removing copper windings from armatures.

    What would the be the best way to remove the copper from the armature?

    Is worth trying to remove myself or is it better to sell the armature as a whole and avoid the headache?

    Would a scrap metal facility even be interested in large volumes of miter saw armatures?
