i have seen several industrial wire strippers but havent seen any for smaller gauge wire. im dealing with quite a bit of wire,not just pc but lots of high end medical & odd older equipment.i hate to see all the copper being sold for insulated wire.

There are some smaller ones you can get on Ebay, but the general consensus is that you are loosing money stripping smaller gauge wire. If you look around on the forum I know there are posts on building your own for really cheap.

Check out some of the home made wire strippers on youtube. May give you a few ideas and save some money
The wire striper I use has one opening and is adjustable. I have found that any stranded wire smaller than 18-20 guage is just too small. A lot of the problem with striping small gauge wire is the type of insulation, some strips better than other. I can't tell you which type of insulation is easy and which will not. You will just have to try them out. The small gauge solid wire is much easier to strip as mostly you tend to just compress the insulation until it splits. Once you see this my statement will make perfect sense.
Some of the striper machines with multiple opening claim they can strip down to 32 gauge, I'm not sure I would believe it until I can see it. This machines are not cheap.
Here's a link to one I seriously considered buying but I don't get enough insulated to justify the expense. Best of luck with your project. Mike
