breaking down electric motors

In case you don't know(and for others who don't know) on that type of motor cut the side with a metal cutting wheel on a hand grinder. The outer shell when then spring open and you can then move on to recovering the copper.



You can then cut the cooper loops on one end with the same grinder. After the cuts are made you can pull the cooper loops out the other end. This is time consuming but I used to do it when I had more time. I am guessing that you removed the end caps from the motor so you can sell them as Al. Mike
