Abstract: A cable stripping device for removing armour from an armoured cable has a pair of rotatable cutter members mounted on a first support for rotation about parallel axes of rotation and in a common plane. The cutter members being spaced apart to receive the cable therebetween, and a pair of cable guides on a second support for guiding the cable between the cutter members, the cable guides being spaced apart to receive cable therebetween. The second support is movable relative to the first support to displace the cable guides against opposite sides of the cable and thereby to press opposite sides of the cable against the cutter members, which cut longitudinally along the cable and which rotate in the same direction so as to exert opposing forces on the cable.
