ABSTRACT:
A fiber optic cleaving tool includes, as one half of a clamping member, an elongated cleaver base pad which has one end fixed to an anvil which is mounted adjacent a cutter blade. The base pad includes alignment means, which can be upraised walls, for removably receiving a fiber guide pad having a groove therein for accepting a specific size of optical fiber. To work with a different fiber size, only the fiber guide pad is replaced, and thus the necessary critical alignment of the fiber with the cutting blade is maintained.
