• DIY Cable stripper Part 1 Main Base & Bearings Bushing Base
• DIY Cable Stripper Part 2 Adjustable Pressure Slider & Power Motor
• Cable Stripper in Action
At the first and second videos is a step by step layout guide, including materials and plans while in the third video is how it works with various cables.
The cost of the materials is very small and you can make it with any leftovers that you may have. Basically I calculate my plan according on what I had available. You can also modify the dimensions according to what you have from materials or to your needs.
For the roller rotation I have use the motor from an old battery hand drill (14vdc) and one of my two bench top regulated power supplies 10~18VDC/30A & 2~24V/DC10A (both can drive the motor and do the job)

Tools and accessories that used during the build:
• Drill press,
• Drill bits ø3 - 3,5short - 4 - 5 - 6 - 8 - 10 -12 - 16 / 16,5mm,
• Counter shank (alternatively you can use drill bits ø 12 or 12,5 & 16,5mm)
• Aniline color,
• Pen Scriber.
• Numeric markers,
• Center punch 3mm & 8mm,
• M6 & M12 taps,
• Angle grinder 115mm
• Cutting disks 1mm & 3mm,
• Grinding flywheel,
• Clamps,
• Files,
• Welding machine/ mask / 6013 electrodes 2,5mm,
• Disk saw machine (alternatively you can use your angle grinder with 1mm cutting disc),
• Tape measure, vernier, square,
• Hack saw,
• Hammer,
