    Often it is more trouble than it is worth. I find the type of insulation determines if the wire strips well. This is less true with 16 gauge and larger. Experience is the best guide. On some small gauge I score it lightly then run it through a second time. On the second time through I rotate the wire so am cutting on another part of the insulation. This avoids cutting the strands and the wire comes out cleanly. Mile
