500KW generator - Barrel coils removal

I found that a sharp carpenters chisel cuts thru Copper wires like a hot knife thru frozen butter.



I'd try using a compressed air powered chisel with the chisel sharpened up. They are cheap and a very handy tool to have.

Haha that's funny, I said exactly that in my copper extraction video. I use an air hammer/chisel on almost all my copper: I hate the grinding dust from copper, and I do find it cuts through wiring quite well. What I need to do for this piece, I think, is modify a blunt bit so it pulls more than cuts, specially when pushing the slugs through the stator housing.
