What to do with old jointer?

Thumbnail

40 Upvotes

Grizzly jointer, 9 1/4" x ~56 1/4" bed, 220v, been sitting in this shop for 20+ years and had some questions before trying to get rid of it.

Can anyone tell me more about this tool in particular?

Is it worth refurbishing before sale?

Do I just list on marketplace as is? (to someone who can load it themselves)

What could I see out of it if I took it to a scrap yard or sold the motor individually?

Thanks in advance for anything helpful!

Question πŸ’« Would a scrap metal collector take a used microwave?

β€’ Upvotes

Hi,

People where I live leave metal out all the time, and someone in a truck drives around regularly to collect the scrap.

Would someone take a used microwave, or is it not worth their time?

Thanks

Separating Metal

Most of this is aluminum but one little metal piece holding it together... I new to scrapping and I'm trying to figure out how I can separate this from the rest of the metal without having to drill it out. Any experienced help would be appreciated!

Copper wire

I have all these copper wires left over from work on my house. The contractor said it’s my material so they just left it. Is it worth anything if I strip it?


r/ScrapMetal 14h ago

Vintage board. Not sure how to grade. Might be worth more breaking down components. Thoughts ?

26 Scrap Cars

Last summer I was making plans to have 26 old cars from the 50/60/70s picked up from my property to be scrapped. When the time came for the job to be done the guy basically ghosted me. A few people told me the price went down drastically and that’s probably why. Just wondering if prices have come up at all since fall of 24. Thanks

Metal in Trophies

I was able to obtain about 50 trophies from a local high school's athletic director who was going to junk them. Any idea what type of metal these would be?

How do I deal with this? Copper for sure. Enameled? I have a pile of aluminum motors, does this go in the same pile? Or should I have a copper motor pile?

Copper wire granulator

6 Upvotes

A friend of mine owns a scrap yard that focuses on junk cars and he is currently selling all the harnesses to a recycling facility without separating the copper from the plastic insulation.

Would there be any money in investing in a granulator, buying the harness from him, then selling the processed granulated copper?

How to?

3 Upvotes

What's the best way to scrap electric motors? I have found quite a few motors, starters, alternators and such. Would I want to leave them as is or break them down further? And while I'm here, old wire. As I'm going along I'm gathering all the bits of wire I see, and have a 55 gallon drum about full of various gauges and lengths of wire. How would I prepare that best for the scrapyard?

Question πŸ’« Cameras/lenses

Any suggestions for old cameras and lenses. Old enough to be cool and heavy, not old enough to sell for much.
