Abstract: A tool for dressing an electric cable of the type comprising a body in which is provided a journaling passage for receiving the end of the cable to be stripped, said body having at least one cutter protruding over a settable distance inside the passage and including two cutting edges, one of which being substantially radial and the other one at the first cutting edge inner end being perpendicular to the passage axis, the body defining said passage via two adjacent blocks mobile with respect to one another. The surface of one of the body blocks forming the journaling guiding generating line or lines of the cable are engaged between the V-shaped surfaces forming on the body other block the opposite cable journaling guiding generating lines. The tool allows stripping with the same tool cables having a diameter between 15 and 65 mm.
