Abstract: Apparatus for stripping cable of its outer sheathing includes first and second drive wheels, each having a non-rotating cutter blade extending beyond the wheel periphery. The amount of extension of the cutters is adjustable, and they are located on an imaginary line joining the centers of the wheels, hence cutting takes place in the region of maximum support for, and maximum pull on the cable.
