    My first experience with new wire stripper

    Well I bought a wire stripper off Ebay, cost was about $137 total as I recall. Its been sitting waiting for me for about a month now.

    I discovered it requires a drill with a 1/2" chuck to fit the shaft of the wire stripper. I own 5 or 6 3/8" drills so I bought a new one from Harbor Freight, cost wast about $45 total.

    I had a small desk in the shop so I mouted it to the desk. I found I had to elevate the stripper so it was at the same level as the drill.







    Below is a photo of the plate that is normally installed to guide smaller wire. I was stripping large coax.



    Here is what the coax looks like after being cut by the stripper



    Here is the copper sheilding being removed



    And here is the center condutor with the insulation split ready to pull out.





    I hope this answered some questions, Mike.

    Now go beat the copper out of something, Miked
