- hi
this wire stripper is made from common parts you can find at Princess Auto. As in the video, you need the following items, putting them together is easy, refer to the video.
- Low RPM 110V motor
- 2 x Shaft (i used a 1-inch diameter one)
- 4 x pillow blocks to fit shaft above
- 1 x 2-inch pulley to fit motor shaft
- 1 x minimum 16" pulley
- 1 x belt to fit
- nuts and bolts
email me at resourcezone@hotmail.com if you have questions.
Enjoy!
This is uber cool. Very nice. Well made and i like it. As a toolmaker, fabricator, mechanic, product design guy ..impressed.
First thought was overkill but when I seen the pile I thought perfectly adequate
this is great .its what in need. i'm not young anymore can't do what i used to do this would help a lot . going to make one thanks.
If you get your hands on a treadmill you have nearly everything you need for this machine
I motorized a metal roller for a similar machine. Worked well as squashing the wire works better if it is kinked.
That's it and I like how the collars keep wire I between roller area.
Great job thanks for posting.
Hi cool machine. How does it strip the wire, just by smashing down on the wire. From the force between the 2 rollers?
you got it.
OSHA-approved
Needs a gear drive to the second roller to stop it from slipping
There is not a knurled wheel? Nor any adjustment for thicker wire? What about spring tension allowing larger wires to pass?
Nice set-up, none-the-less.
nope. adjustment is by by moving one wheel away from the other. there is a bit of flexing happening when feeding the wire, which acts as tension.
did you sell the copper in usa? or you sell the copper in china for example>?
thanks
great machine by the way

quick question, so this machine just applies presure to the insulated wire making the insulation come off?
+Izzy Jr Yes. The tension breaks the rubber. This does not work as well with multi-threaded wires.
+siggitiggi really interesting i was thinking there was a sharp edge in there. amazing stuff
exactly. the insulation gets crushed by the wire itself.
Do you have to adjust the distance between the rollers for different gauge wire?
hi
I used for wire size up to #8 awg. Anything thicker gauge will not take the wire, or will shift the pillow blocks to one. I suspect that this gizmo is tough enough to take wire sizes up to #6, anything thicker would be just as easily stripped with a shop knife.
yes. the rollers flex apart a little and act like tension.
I would like to see a video of you actually making the thing.
Appreciate your build …. but will you ever break even? Cost of setup & operating costs?
hi
if i did not have the parts, it would have cost me about $400 on the high end. i stripped 400 pounds of copper wire in 3 days (2-3 hours per day) and cashed them in for $1200. you assess whether it is worth it or not.s
Where did you get the wiring?
Well worth the time and effort if a supply is available. Many of these parts can be found for cheap and many tinkerers have them laying about.
cost me $20 for the pillow blocks, the rest i savaged from elevator scrap equipment. ironic isnt it? i cashed over a $1000 after running the machine for 20 minutes. what do you think?
now try this with stranded wire
I did. very annoying. it works, but strands break off and makes a mess.
Ótima máquina ,você esta de parabéns
obrigado
Hisomeone asked the following question, "where did you get the two cylinders that actually smash the wire? I can't seem to find anything about them, not even what they're called.".the parts are called BORE SPLIT TAPERED BUSHING. you can get these from hardware or metal fabrication supplies stores, usually in the pulley, bushing, gear, etc. section.thanks
nice is the end of the shafts just smooth or do they have cuts in them?
hi joe. are you talking about the ends where the wire goes in between? If so, there are no cuts or grooves. the two ends are set close enough so that the insulation is crushed. let me know if you need more info.
Tonni Shamon hey the rollers that smash the wire between them? What is the technical name for them I wanna order some.
Hi
I think they are called flanged collars.
Thanks
Tonni Shamon that does it thanks chief
not sure what you mean. i had to cut one shaft to make two, maybe you see the saw blade marks.
You got an E stop on that thing?
no, but i should, safety first. i was eager to try it and didnt put one on.
It's very interesting.
Yes it jest
use more power then product?
for 20 minutes of power, i salvaged a $1000.
i noticed the bottom lay roller was slipping when the wire went through if you rough it up it will feed the wire much better
Hi
i noticed that too and decided to leave it that way. reason? over time, the copper acts as sand paper and eat away at the steel. if the wire feed in one spot all the time, it will groove the steel and i will eventually run out of adjustment gap. so if leave the wire to run all over the surface, then the copper should evenly sand the steel surface.
+Tonni Shamon I made a similar device a couple of years back and found that having the grabber wheel (non motor shaft) knurled increased efficiency. I used a 2 part system for that axis so the knurled part could be replaced easily should it break.
I sold my machine 3 years ago and it's still being used. Don't think they've had to change it yet.
correct. i was eager to put it together and use it.
Tanto montaje Para tan poco
Good machine, very annoying noise!!!

Шумно и бестолково
