    @@hendrikoo7893 grinder is the standard way ive been doing it, takes longer to cut than to snip and loses copper by grinding. I sweep up the dust to melt later when the jar is full. Will be snipping it from now on with the difference of buying a decent cable cutter as my bolt cutters have gaps in the jaws. Also to pull the wire out ill use a slide puller with a hook on the end.

    Good question. I really have not tried to remove the windings from a motor armature. Due to me not really receiving many of those types of motors. Most of those motors (such as drill or power tool motors) are so small anyway, I really don't think it's worth removing the windings from those types of motors and I just toss them in a motor bin. If I were to get some larger motors, of that nature, I would certainly try to find the best way to remove the windings from them.

    Either heat the core on till the glue has softened, or cut both sides of the windings. Wrap them around your pry bar several times and pull hard. The winding pretty much always come out, no matter the type of motor, or size. There is always those stubborn windings that will not release from the core.

    You know, I can clean 10 times the copper with a large metal file ground down to a point and sharp like a knife for aprox 4" at a taper. start the point into the center of the winding and cut as you pry it to the open side then turn it over and use the other end to pry it out of the stater. Hope this makes sense, 28 years in the scrap business and I know it is fast.

    That will work for concentric or "basket" wound stators ,but lap wound coils only release if the previous coil is removed first untill reaching the span. For that reason an air hammer and a cutting tip focused use where the coil and the slot meet is the fastest way i have seen for that winding.

    I did it all by brute force and physical strength. I didn't have an air chisel and angle grinders only fill your shop with stinking, choking smoke. The only thing I wasn't ever able to remove the windings from, with my method, were automotive alternators. Other than that, my method, using minimal tools, worked efficiently, took little time and didn't owe my anything.

    It would depend on the size of the motor.. If everything seems to be really tightly wound and it's a fairly small motor with a heavy coating. I would just toss the motor on your motor only bin. If the motor is much larger and you feel you can get the windings out in a relatively reasonable amount of time. I would either beat the coating with a hammer or burn the shit off in an incinerator, then proceed with cutting the windings and so on...
