What happens here

The operator feeds the thick 3/0 copper wire into one of the designated slots on the running wire stripping machine. The machine's rollers pull the wire through, and its internal blades cut the insulation along the length of the wire. The stripped insulation comes out from the machine, cleanly separated from the copper core.

Goal: Remove insulation from 3/0 copper

Tools and materials

  • 3/0 Copper Wire — The wire being stripped
  • Safety Gloves — To protect hands during handling of wire and operation of machine
  • Wire Stripping Machine — To strip the wire insulation

I'm glad you didn't cut a bigger piece just to show these people how we strip wire. Yep, here you go. What a difference between that one and the other one? I know. Look at that, guys. See? Bare bones. See, we electricians, we print free money.
