One thing that I will say about stripping is to learn the rates of recovery on the different types of wire. For example thhn is roughly 85 percent, this way you can weigh a given amount ( say 5 feet) then do the math and know what the difference in payout is going to be before you strip it. That way you can decide pretty quick what is worth stripping and what isn't.

Rates of recovery means the percentage of copper verses coating by weight. Simply put if you have ten pounds of wire at 85 percent recovery you will get eight and a half pounds of clean copper if you strip it.

@@Dani-ELmaninnoboxes That is why you need to know the rate of recovery. Sure it is nice if you get a bit more from the bright copper, but if your rate of recovery is like 50 %, the price difference between dirty and bright sould be at least double. Plus it takes time and effort to strip the wires, so you have to put a value for your hours also, as in do you hunt for more (dirty) copper or spend that time peeling wires.

Hello, Sweden here again. I do just about the same as you. I always cut all connectors and plugs off my wires, prongs and things go in my brass bucket. My yard loves it because they know it's clean scrap wire and quick to unload and already sorted in categories so I do get a better price. Ask how the scrapyard wants their material and try to get as close to it as you can, win-win. Scrap safe and take care.

@stevespencer4445

2 жыл бұрын

Yep, all plugs and connectors cut off. They also pay for plugs (eg mains plugs) as there's brass inside I guess. But first I cut the mains plugs 3 pins off. My yard will allow the earthing pin to be in the clean brass pile, but the other 2 pins these days have plastic insulation covering some of the pin - so they drop into my #2 brass pile. They are strict lol. It's only 3 quick snips...and all adds up when you get loads of plugs...

I made my own “stripper” using two steel 1” sprinkler pipes, bearings, all threaded rod and a corded drill. It’s more of a “pincher” than a stripper. Will strip anything 1” or longer.

If you have long pieces of hard-strip-but-worth-it copper wire, suspend it across a room and clamp it down while pulling it taut. Then run a utility knife down it and strip away long pieces at once. I’ve had an idea of anchoring a piece of wood with a V notch in it and put a small piece of a razor blade at the bottom, then have a top piece of wood that hangs but weighted down and is attached the bottom piece with a hinge, and then pull pieces of wire through it with vise grips. Havnt made it yet but it’s an idea. Also you can stand on one end of a piece of wire and hold the other end tight with one hand, then use your other hand and strip it using a utility knife pulling upwards. That’s worked fast for me.

You just saved me a lot of time many thanks 👍

The tabletop ones can be a little fiddly too, they’re definitely best for heavier gauge stuff. I’ll have to try the clamped blade technique!

I spent a grand on a multi disc stripper (9 sizes plus fine tuning adjustments) had it 5 months and have it's value in copper sitting in the corner. Well worth it, and being electric makes it fast and easy. Mess around with blades pulling wire through and you'll likely have an accident someday- not to mention the sore hands you get from manual stripping with a knife or mounted blade.
