Abstract
An apparatus for stripping sheathing from longitudinally axially extending wire at controllable depth comprising a frame; a carriage on the frame linearly movable longitudinally,; wire clamp structure on the carriage for sidewardly clamping the wire sheathing, at a location spaced from the end of the wire advanced past the clamp structure, the clamp structure movable longitudinally by the carriage; a rotating spindle on the frame and blade structure on the spindle and rotatable thereby to rotatably cut into the wire sheathing, the blade structure having cutting edges; structure to control the depth of cutting of the blade structure into the sheathing, and as the spindle rotates; and first drive structure operatively connected with the carriage to carry the wire to longitudinally selected positions at which the blade structure then cuts into the sheathing to controlled depth, the carriage being retractable so that a cut plug of the sheathing is pulled endwise off the wire.
