Hello everybody,
I am new here, not sure where to post, this looks like a good place to start.
I have been collecting and recycling computers for about two years now and have a huge supply of
fingerboards, motherboards, memory, CPU's, palladium, gold pins and tons of other stuff I been making a good living selling all the low
grade metals from recycling the computers and keeping all the other items until I felt I had enough to process.
I placed ads on criaigslist for lab supplies and I got lots of things from people wanting to get rid
of all kinds of high quality beakers flasks and other glassware. I also been getting Pyrex pie plates and baking dishes from yard sales
for processing Mylar from keyboards.
I have spent a couple hours removing fingerboard gold first I used the vice and just broke them off this worked fairly well but the jaws are
chipped and the break was ragged and left some gold at times.
Then I used tin snips this works well except your hand becomes very sore after a while.
Next I am going to get a metal cutting blade for my band saw and try that.
Has anybody found a easy fast was to remove the fingers from the boards?
I use a 2 inch chisel for pin removal and it is fast.
Let me know
have a great day
John
