Homemade industrial wire stripper
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. i |

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. i A colleague of mime had a home made unit built on a gearhead motor. It had a spring loaded pipe cutter wheel. I used it for several thousand feet of cable. For light duty it was satisfactory. The drive wheel needed improvement. I saw a commercially made unit that had four pipe cutter wheels at 90 degs. The key seems to be the drive wheel. CP |

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. I haven't built one, but if you'll look up "Artos", you'll find examples of industrial automated strippers. NONE of them are "safe in use", unless they have an interlocked cover over the work zone.

In addition to removing the insulation they drive the wire to be striped. Tubes guides the wire into and out of the brushes. The wire to be striped has an adjustable brake. Wire FLIES through these machines! |

Especially considering that the SEC just very recently approved JP Morgan's request allowing for ETF's to be backed by actual physical copper, which, due to the probability of hoarding, may well substantially reduce the amount of copper available for bonafide manufacturing purposes, despite Wall St claims to the contrary. |

He found out, though, that the whole system did better by limiting the size of the wire. That is, after stripping, it was cut into 1/4" lengths, and this made it infinitely easier to handle, and they put it in 5 gallon containers for handling and shipment. Can't tell you much about the way they stripped it, but with a little investigation, you should be able to find out which way works best for you. They also got a premium price for the copper, as the buyers were sure they were going to get all wire with no trash. IIRC, the buyers were making "kearnies". (?) |

Old telephone "drop" cable (that which went from the pole to the side of the house) had the rubber rather firmly bonded to the conductors. Stripping it involved whittling away rubber until you got close, then scraping to get to the conductor. (I used to have some from tree damage in New Hampshire back in the very early 1960s. :-) Enjoy, DoN. I pulled most of the knob and tube rubber insulated (mid '40s) wire when I re-wired in'78. To strip it, I sliced one side off the anchored one end in the vise and spun the other end with a drill motor. The heat generated plus the twisting action cleaned the well adhered rubber perfectly from the tinned copper conducter. --- Gerry :-)} London,Canada |

This machine requires some rollers from an old excerise machine, a motor, belt and some wood. It does not have any blades at all, and the insulation is burnt off using only friction. This stripper can handle any type of wire you throw at it. You can see it in action here with instructions on how to build it; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQr6QwacJHQ Good luck! Rich |

This machine requires some rollers from an old excerise machine, a motor, belt and some wood. It does not have any blades at all, and the insulation is burnt off using only friction. This stripper can handle any type of wire you throw at it. You can see it in action here with instructions on how to build it; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQr6QwacJHQ Good luck! Rich I used one once that was made from a gear head motor, cutter[as in a wheel from a pipe cutter] which was spring loaded against a serrated wheel which drove the wire through and split the insulation. I don't think you could make one like this that would take a wide range of wire. The whole thing was mounted on the gear head. CP |

Homemade industrial wire stripper
Used a homemade one once. It worked fairly well if you aren't going in
production. It consisted of a gear head motor [don't remember the rpm, use some judgment] with a drive wheel like a used cog wheel pully. Against this was a spring loaded, adjustable cutter wheel from a common pipe cutter. Also saw a pro unit that had 4 cutter wheels like the home made unit. CP |
