Angle grinder with an abrasive metal cutting blade works quite

A wide blade in an air chisel. Less copper dust that way. I've
scrapped some big transformers with a wide wood chisel and a hammer.



Ayuy...that should work well too..particularly if the copper is held
solidly by the varnish.

Id sharpen the chisel a bunch though..most tend to be quite blunt.
