Abstract: A cable stripping tool for the preparation of high voltage cable for termination or splicing by simultaneously removing the semiconducting sheathing from a section of cable and insulation and sheathing from the end section of the cable to expose the conducting core. The tool has a tubular body with a central bore which receives the cable. The body has an adjustable scoring blade disposed in a longitudinal slot which scores the sheathing at a predetermined distance. An insulation cutting blade is radially disposed in the central bore which cuts the sheathing and insulation upon rotation of the body. In one embodiment, a shaft is coupled to the tubular body to provide rotation of the body about the cable by a drill motor.
