chopping copper

I was reading the post below about using chopped up copper in a tumbler for cleaning up old bottles. I seem to have plenty of copper scraps, in the form of scrap wire from work. What would be a good way to chop it up insulation and all? I'm thinking that after it was chopped some water should separate the insulation and copper. Just thinking here, not saying it would be feasible.
 
My neighbor has a tumbler and uses copper bits to clean antique bottles. He has a simple piece of tubing with the ID allowing the copper. Cross drilled at 90 degrees is a hole to allow a punch to be hammered in and snip off the required size pellet. However, he only uses bare cu without insulation. Not sure this helps you.
