Scrapyards here don't take coax, not even stripped.

Hello Guys, My main business used to be Cb radio, scanner repair. CB and Ham style of coax is good copper with a rubber jacket outside and usually just a foam insulator between the ground braid and the center wire. RG-58/59 is the smallest sizes, RG-8X is one step larger with a larger center wire, and RG-8U or 213 is the largest with almost a 1/4" diameter stranded wire in the center, plus the ground braid. All easy to strip with a utility knife,,,Most coaxial isn't even copper.
I've been using the drill powered wire stripper from this site, -removed- it works really well. I did take a small amount of adjustments but they were easy. The good thing about this design is that it is really fast, and it does romex, which is great.
Ive used a dremmel tool before to strip large gauge wires, for smaller I just use wire strippers and my hands. Takes alot of patience but I have the time.
