I have a used a bandsaw at great length.Far from the cats meow.Bought a blade from off the Internet and have cut roughly 125 plus stators and still cutting but must feed through saw slowly.Still have a few that "hair up"and have not figured that out.I have wondered about the wire having a softer temper to it.I will be trying Freons method in the future.Read above someone was asking about rotors as I have sold them as alum. breakage.Recieved 18-28 cents a pound.Love those motors!
