Abstract: The automatic field cable stripper is a three-part device attachable to a hand-held power drill which is used to remove the outer insulation jacket from the end of a cable to a desired length. The three parts of the stripper are: a cylindrically shaped cutter with a plurality of annularly arranged knife edges, a cylindrically shaped cutter shield and an arbor for attaching to the drill. The dimensions of the cutter and shield are preset to match the corresponding dimensions of the inner conductor and the outer insulation jacket. A set of differently sized strippers is also contemplated.
