I don't know the person who made this but I seen it on youtube and figured it was worth sharing

wish i had one, would have to be a machineist to build it though.
Nah you can build anything with time and patients with basic tools and the right scrap.
Dam it ! Wish could build something that sweet, I bet there was some serious dough in that guy copper barrel
Nice looking unit that seems to work well.... only thing I would add is a safety guard to prevent getting caught in the cutting wheel
I bought a cable wire on ebay not very long ago.It looks a lot like that one, but mine is AL thiers looks steel.On the side I can hook up a cordless drill and it FLIES through wire like that video(with a sharp blade).I put it on a 5 gallon bucket and shoot the wire into a bucket on the other side.Only problem I have is my black lab will keep barking and running over trying to grab the wire as it comes out the other side.I dont know why but he always wants to bite the copper a little bit and bark at the drill.
I was thinking on buying a wire stripper instead of sending some of the wire I get out as insulated. Some is well worth stripping and doing it by hand is way to much work and time consuming. I was thinking of building one and thats where I came up with that video, We are all pretty mechanically inclined and have all of the tools needed to do it so I was just researching the types and ways they were built. shootsitall.. does yours remove the insulation as well or do you have to manually do it? The one in the video did it without touching it and it separated it I that that was impressive compared to the ones I have seen.
Heres a link to one I built using only common hand tools, drill, hacksaw and stuff from my salvage drawers or scrap barrels.

WOW! I want one!
I really like this design! I have been designing one in my head. I thought to V Notch a Skate Board Wheel, and use that as a wire guide. That way you could do a large variety of wire sizes. I just marked the thread so I can circle back. I think I'm going to make one this weekend! We have 400# of wire to strip.Quote:

The machine seems to weigh 35 kg (77 lbs.), which seems fine. I'd love to have one of these or anything even somewhat similar. Anybody have anything for sale or have any ideas. I am not mechanically inclined to where I can build one myself. If anyone has one gently used, I'd even consider buying that.
This unit was not home made. I found it with a little investigation... Yes, No pricing info.
