Abstract: An apparatus for cutting an insulated electric wire into lengths and crimping a terminal to the end of the resulting wire lengths, comprising means for intermittently supplying said insulated electric wire through a predetermined distance, a cutter blade assembly operable in timed relation with the intermittent wire supply and including a cutter blade for cutting the wire and a cutter blade spaced forwardly therefrom for cutting only the insulator of the wire, wire length transfer means laterally extending and mounted pivotally at a position spaced from the assembly, which transfer means comprises a circulating conveyer having a plurality of grippers disposed at intervals and being moved intermittently in timed relation with the intermittent wire supply for conveying the wire lengths away from the supply means, and driver means for alternately driving the transfer means to a normal position and a forwardly shifted position in timed relation with the intermittent wire supply, the abovementioned timed relation
