How to Build a Homemade Tool for Copper Wire Stripping - DIY

Are you a copper collector? If so then congratulations! The following tool is very much needed for you! In the next video I made I will show you an easy and quick way to build a tool for peeling copper wires easily. To facilitate the process of building the tool, I avoided using welding and tools that are not available to anyone. Of course, I have tried to use the materials that everyone has in their workshop or home. Certainly as a considered collector, this tool has made my life a lot better and that is why I decided to build it. So if you were looking for an easy and quick way to build such a tool watch the video and tell me what you think about it in the comments here.

Great design and tool. I would really like to build one but need more detailed plans with deminsions. What are the two tapered gears that you are usings? The plate appears to be 4" X 4" and the threaded stoch is 1/2"?

[@iamnickyj]

Great design man, super simple, easy to get parts, and to build, and inexpensive. Well done. Definitely building one

[@ThisHazeOnly]

Wow! This is definitely the best diy wire stripper design I've seen 👍👍 Using a pipe cutter wheel/disc instead of some sort of razor or blade, just brilliant!! And it quick adjusts for multiple size wire on the fly......?? Too cool! 😎😎 Thanks for sharing

[@DIYFixMan]

Thank you for your support

[@buentaste]

No it is not practical and easy to build for the average beginners. Where do you get those gear rollers, and if you don't have a vise how you keep this stripper unit steady? I bet you this stripper can not peel small stranded soft wire like the one that comes from extention cord or power cord from devices....

[@JM-dp9xl]

Soon as I saw the grease fitting, i knew it was gonna be good!

[@josephtincknell4708]

Very awesome! Now just need to hook up a dc motor to replace the crank and some kind of way to hold the wire straight with a bit of tension so you can just start the feed and it’ll do the rest automatically.

[@dooleyknoted5951]

I really appreciate people like you! Especially during times such as these! Many valuable options for retaining our liberty is extremely helpful! Thanks for sharing! You've got a new sub!

[@KathrynsWorldWildfireTracking]

Firstly, bravo. This is amazing, and filming is superb. Adjustment - is the biggest time-waster of strippng. If you could make the blade ratchet up/down with a tumbscrew click-click-click: You'd have a massive edge over competition.

I didn't see any stranded, let's say #8 down to copper...As an idea, the construction durable but the cutting wheel trouble to adjust. Just my opinion

[@rustedratchetgarage6788]

Take a board clamp.it to a table drill a series of holes each larger than the last in a line keeping one edge of each hole 1 in from edge the screw 1.25in screws into the holes enough to pierce insulation after inserting wire through appropriate size hole create a crank handle to pull the wire and spool it on a dowel

[@islandseeker1260]

How well does it work for stripping the copper wire out of the plastic insulation? All I saw was stripping three smaller insulated wires out of a larger wire... or was this the sole intended purpose?

[@alexandermcdougall8313]

Good pipe cutters have extra blades under the cap at the handle

What size bevel gears are they? Awesome video I’m keen to make my own version thanks for the idea !

[@Zappy1210]

In the process of making one of these for larger cable. I have tons of 350 and 4/0 GGC cable to strip which is difficult with just a razor knife... I have an electric stripper for the individual wires, just not the entire cable diameter. Going to figure out a way to drive it with the same motor as the electric stripper I already have.

[@catsrocktheworld]

This is so cool

[@DIYFixMan]

thanks

[@piratboss]

what are those gears called? to "feed" the cable in? what r they from?

[@felipel6340]

They are called bevel gears, easily found on eBay. Like $20 for the pair.

Love the video I’m gonna have to make one. I just don’t know what the part is that looks like a gear. Also the parts that mounts to the bottom plate with the bearings in it. I don’t know the name of those parts or where to get them. Cheers

Hello, I bought a hand crank wire stripper but the gears do not hold the wire, they just slide under the wire. Do you know where I can find the gears you are using. Maybe they would work better. Thank you.

You could use a wireless drill instead of using a crank and too bad you cannot strip the smaller wires. But still a good build

Thanks my friend, the truth is I have made a number of upgrades since I made the video. Currently I can undress both very thin wires and I have also connected an electric motor that will make it turn instead of turning manually.
