All you need is a vice and a hacksaw.  Clamp your transformer core in a vice
with the weld (between the I and E sections) on top.  Just saw through the
weld in line with the joint of the I and E sections.  Usually, the weld is
soft and it only takes a couple minutes of sawing.  Repeat for the other
side.  Then a couple of hammer taps on a cold chisel or screwdriver in the
sawed out weld will easily separate the two sections.

Hi,

How do you remove the I laminations block from the E laminations block? I 
have an old MOT, and am in the process of re-winding it. I need an airgap 
for it,and have no way of introducing one without seperating the laminations

Also, I dont have access to a blowtorch, arc welder, oxygas torch etc etc.

Thanks in advance

A. Wang
