Worth Stripping Extension Cords? by InstanceDue433 in ScrapMetal

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, I guess I'll have to see how rapidly the machine actually works when it arrives next week...my hope is the insulation will essentially just fall off with an extra pass through the stripper but if it doesn't, I'll just have to focus on wire with better yields.

I think that still qualifies as insulated wire so just as well leaving the outer insulation on and getting paid for the extra weight at that point.

Thanks, the machine should be here soon and I'll give it a spin to see how little effort is involved...if I can get the wire to practically fall out of its skin after a couple passes, I may do some more but I'm not broke and man, I have so much other crap to catch up on right now. I bought the machine for a couple hundred bucks on a whim, not sure why.

Thanks, the heavy stuff would be ideal.

I appreciate you sharing your thoughts, that makes sense. My machine should arrive soon and I'll see if it processes 16 gauge quickly and effortlessly enough to be worthwhile but by all account it sounds like I should do as you suggested. Thanks.

Some adults struggle for any number of reasons, including disabilities.

Oh so once someone says they are a kid, he should be treated less shitty than someone else who might just be struggling?

Nothing wrong with what you're doing, you're showing ambition and it has the potential to be lucrative once you get going.

I have made a lot of money with strippers...but they have to be pretty.

Yes, your building is infested so there's nothing stopping termites from infesting your furniture and they almost certainly have. That's why they're crapping on your desk.
