ABSTRACT:
A tool and associated method facilitates removal of a residue of dielectric material from the inside surface of a tubular outer conductor of coaxial cable and strips a portion of the outer plastic jacket from the outer conductor in preparation for splicing or terminating the cable. The core finish tool includes a housing having a bore therethrough and an elongate metal body positioned in the bore. The elongate metal body has a hollow and enlarged frusto-conical front portion that defines a cutting member. The front portion is divided by four longitudinal slots which define four cutting member segments and respective adjacent arcuate segments that flex radially inward as the elongate body is inserted into the outer conductor to provide an outward radial bias to the cutting member. The residue is removed from the inside surface of the outer conductor as the tool is retracted from the cable. A cutting blade carried by the housing removes the outer plastic jacket as the tool is rotated about the cable.
