ABSTRACT:
A simple tool, involving a suitably grooved flat base and a stripping blade movably connected thereto whereby the blade may be simply moved in and out of its stripping position, and wherein its cutting edge straddles a plurality of the base grooves. The grooves are sized as to depth, appropriate to the diameter of the optical fiber and its buffer coat, and with a small clearance, such that when the coated fiber is held and drawn in a first groove, the blade is never loaded against the glass fiber, so that the blade strips only the coating from only one side of the buffered fiber, without scoring contact with the fiber core, and further such that upon 180.degree. rotation of the fiber to place it in a second groove, the drawn fiber will be stripped of the remaining coating, also without scoring contact with the fiber core.
