I would like to make a wire stripper. And by this, I do not mean those
"look, mommy, I made a wire stripper from a knife blade and toy car
wheels".

I mean a powered industrial machine that is

a) Safe in use
b) Can strip significant amount of wire per hour c) Strips cables up to
1 inch thick.

I can find a gear motor and other equipment without problems, I just
wanted to see if anyone was aware of similar projects that worked out
well.


If you were in China you'd just subcontract the job to a village full of
people who would pile it on bonfires and burn the insulation off.


Can't do that here, those pesky environmentalists.....
