    I know a lot of people do, but I personally just cash them in as sis. To much work, and the oil is a freaking mess.

    WOW! That's all I can say about that. The whole process takes normal people around a minute start to finish with a couple more minutes to clean the copper off the winding core.

    I think a chop saw would work a whole lot better / faster.
