Apparatus and method for salvaging core laminations from the core and windings of an electric motor include a first station for inserting a stop between adjacent core laminations at a first point such that the stop contacts the flux zone of the laminations in order to prevent motion of the core along the longitudinal axis of the core. A second station is provided for separating adjacent laminations at a second point between the first station and a free end of the core and windings, thereby breaking the bonding agent adjacent the second point and creating an end section of the core laminations. A longitudinal force is exerted on the flux zone of the laminations at the second point and directed toward the free end of the windings in order to move the end section toward the free end of the windings. The longitudinal force shears the laminations in the end section from the bonding agent and windings.
