ABSTRACT:
A cable stripping apparatus having a longitudinal axis for stripping, for example, jackets and/or armored steel shields from cables is disclosed. In the preferred embodiment, a cable receiving portion is mounted on a base. The cable receiving portion receives a cable and facilitates maintaining the cable in an orientation orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the cable stripping apparatus. A carriage is operably connected to the base and is movable along the longitudinal axis of the apparatus. The carriage includes a rotatable cutting wheel housed at least partially inside the carriage. An adjusting shaft, operably connected to the carriage, moves the carriage in the longitudinal direction, i.e., toward and away from the cable receiving portion. A dial, operably connected to the cutting wheel, moves the cutting wheel along the longitudinal axis and thereby adjusts the distance that the cutting wheel extends from the carriage. A locking member locks the dial into a predetermined position so that the cutting wheel position is not disturbed during the stripping process. When a cable is properly positioned on the cable receiving portion, and when the cutting wheel is properly adjusted, the cable stripping apparatus allows a user to cut the jacket and/or armored steel shield of a cable with very high precision, i.e., to about a thousandth of an inch, thereby ensuring the sensitive cable housed inside is not damaged or destroyed during the stripping process.
