Cable Stripping

Old video of me stripping plastic off scrap copper cable.
Coils are fitted to the feedout spool (Toyota LT Rim) and fed through for the outer sheath (Black PVC) removal, then wound back on for removal of inner sheath (natural Polyethylene) and finally copper wire is wound back on, or bundled together on the ground for collection.

Roughly 80Kg of clean copper scrap. 15 min process time after setup of jig.

@6095jimmy thanks mate. what was really going on here was I was testing a early prototype stripper (never used it again) that I made for my local scrap yard. they gave me 4 such rolls of coated wire (some with melted insulation and blackened copper cores) to test the medium gauge stripper head with

it struggled with the melted/kinked stuff and broke the blade so I went with a different design and made it into one motorized unit

Scap Copper my ASS!!!!... That might be 500' of wire all on one spool, people like you make me sick!

[Aussie50]

@Bassmaster963 I still find it hillarious that people think its stolen :D, if only they spent some time around a scrap yard and saw how many thousands of feet of old industrial cable that gets scrapped when a factory it re-fitted

get a life.

and where in the hell are you getting the huge ass spools of wire or did you buy them just to strip them lol?

[Aussie50]

@1990suzuki I was developing a cable stripper for the local scrap they gave me the cable to test it with and gave me a percentage of the profit as a bonus

@6095jimmy scrap metal guys are thieves, AND they are smarter than us...

thats why they make money from things we saw no value in and threw away

cabling stripping solutions are needed for the average tradesman, so at least its progressing

@Bassmaster963 REALLY?? wow i must make you sick then. I bought from a retired electrician, a roll of 6/3 teck last week. 300' from 1988. couldn't be used as it was too old. so that makes a opportunist a thief? cause i striped it and got payed?
