Wire stripping - everyones favourite topic :)

[Torker Man]

O.K, so after reading ALL the threads on here that came up when I searched for wire stripper I am left wanting. and if any members out there wanna chime in with that old chestnut "use the search feature - its all in the archives" I challenge you to bring the goods to back that up

Every time those words are mentioned a link to amazon comes up..what's with that??? kick backs?



Anyhow, there are a zillion you tube videos on this, but none answer my question.

ANYONE can buy a machine to do solid core or heavy Romax wire. These I do with a utility knife held on its side while pulling the wire under it to shave of the insulation, and its hella quick and easy...

I have yet to see anyone who can effectively strip the fine and flexible multi strand wire used for appliance cord and extension cords, and for that mater, automotive wire too.

So who here is the expert? who has made a tool for this?? who has the vids I know we all want to see???

alternatively who here has plans to build a granulator..? LOL


Thank you.

This is what I use. Works great for braided and solid.

Look at newman trading. They made the first wire stripper that I have ever used. Now of course I have a plant full of choppers and shaker tables. I tried to automate as much of it as I can.

I looked at that one. Is the cutter a solid pin? It looks that way, but I thought that a cutter wheel (such as a pipe cutter wheel) might be better?

I am going to experiment with a block of wood, 2 holes and a sharp screw We will see.

Thanks for the replies.. and if anyone here has a machine like that could they upload a vid of it being used on an appliance cord?

Cheers!

the machine has a wheel with blades on it. There is a wheel at the top that catches the wire and pulls it across the bottom wheel where the blades are located. It works very well with low grade wire like appliance cords. I used to use it for that all the time. Sorry I can't post a video as I sold it and bought some granulators. If you look on Newmans site, they have a video of it cutting a lot of different types of cords.
