saw metal worth anything?

[smokechase II]

I have two 5 gallon buckets of used saw chain and 5 more buckets of cylinders.
Is this stuff worth anything recycled?

.60 per pound if all the steel is off.

Lol

So tell me what that bucket of saw chain weighs after you get all the steel off.

The chain steel is about 150 a ton so keep saving it up

I was comenting on the cylinders. I actually have about 500# of stripped saw parts that are not any good other than for scrap that need to go in. Smokechaser, Metro Metals in Portland is a good place to take stuff.

I knew that

I just couldn't resist being a natural wiseguy
:hmm3grin2orange:

That was why I priced the steel for clarification

hey pest, you know speaking of stripping all the metal off of the chain.... If you had carbide cutters..... you might be on to something.

Send me your address

Send me your address and I'll send your one of my new Unobtanium bars what gauge would you like?

The saw weighs less with this bar than without one:biggrinbounce2:

Just e-bay them one at a time, and retire.

steel in cylinders

Klick:

Are the cylinder interiors chrome?

What else has to come off?
Thanks

This for your perseverance despite obstacles in this thread.

the liners are chrome but they are nonmagnetic and usually they will not ding you for it if you have any quantity. One of the things they do not like to tell the people bringing in scrap is that they are allowed up to 5% in waste metal. My dad is a scrap dealer. Cast, sheet and extruded all bring differant amounts and you will be paid according to the sort. If it is mixed you will get paid sheet price which is the lowest amount. Anything magnetic will get you dinged. If it extra greasy it will get you dinged on price as well. Hope this helps.

Unless it is a huge quantity then they just mix it in cast aluminum. Most cast aluminum has a % of magnesium in it any how.
