Yeah, I tried today to strip a degaussing cable with that method, but I couldn't get it to work. It just kept wanting to push the tape up the cable instead of scoring it. Once I get confirmation on a place to order replacement blades for a stripper I found on ebay, I'm ordering it.Originally Posted by cummins

I just got that exact (well, almost exact) unit a couple weeks ago mainly for degausing wire. Love it.I've been researching the forum for recc's on a wire stripper, and this is the model I am leaning towards. I would prefer a stripper that uses regular utility knife blades, but I have yet to see a decent looking model that does.
Does anyone on here have this one? How do you like it? My main goal is stripping CRT degaussing cables more quickly, as well as thicker guage wire. I don't intend to strip anything smaller than about your average lampcord.

Yeah, I couldn't get that guy to respond about getting replacement blades. Most likely they're fairly interchangeable, but I'm an impatient type, LOL.
I went ahead & ordered the one I linked and a set of extra blades. No more throwing away money taking in thick insulated wire.

Just wanted to post an update. I got the WL100 stripper I linked earlier in this thread, and I have to say I have one regret about it: That I didn't buy one MONTHS ago!!!
I tore through a whole tub of degaussing cables in a fraction of the time it was taking trying to cut the tape with a utility knife, plus not having to hunch over & contort to get my cutting angle just right.
I haven't yet worked out the bugs on actual wire stripping... I have a huge tub packed full of various guages to work on tonight, but all in all this was money well spent. Only had it 2 days & I'd say it's paid for itself already in terms of time saved... by bedtime tonight it'll have paid for itself in terms of value added by stripping wire I was only getting pennies on the dollar for unstripped.

Lol, I said the same thing recently. My wire stripper paid for itself in 3-5hours of use well more than what it was worth actually I still have around 10-20lbs left to strip. I ended up having so far stripped 50lbs of Degauss wire.
I might consider stripping power cables, but would it be worth stripping the outer layer on top of the three other wires inside?

I might get the missus to shoot a video of me stripping a degaussing cable with my new toy. When you see what "quick & simple" really looks like, I bet you buy one too!
We're literall talking seconds to strip one... with no cursing.

I just bought this wire stripper from ebay Copper Wire Stripping Machine Cable Stripper Scrap Metal Recycle Tool New | eBay. All I do is strip wire out of power supply from computers and some cords from electronics.
The reason I bought this is because it will open up more options of what I can ship out since there isn't a place in town that will pay for any scrap. I'll let you know how this stripper works out.
