how easy is it to make your own wire/ cable stripper?
i made this one from scrap bits and pieces and a utility knife blade. If you were to buy the parts, it might cost you upto $10.
Stripping the sheath from copper cables increases the scrap value by up to 4 times.
Clean stripped copper is one of the most valuable scrap metal apart from brass and aluminium (aluminum).

This stripper has twin blades/ holes for two different size cables.
Good Luck!

DO NOT ADD MUSIC TO ANY DIY DEMO VIDEO. GOLDEN RULE. IT MAKES VIEWERS GO DEAF.

@donhunter2608 Год назад

I like how your scrap has zero rust and the exact bolts needed for assembly

You are the first person so far I have come across that made a stripper that slices the wire instead of peeling it like a potato. And it is adjustable. You showed me what I had in mind I just didnt know how to go about doing it. I am always having to throw away extra hardware and brackets, and there is always a box full of wire within a few weeks. It isnt a gold mine but it is money in a box that accumulates. It pains me to see so much excess be thrown out. I'd save it all if I had the room. Excellent video. It has to be worth the time, this looks pretty easy and sensible.

Simple and elementary design. Brilliant work. I have been trying to make an over engineered motorized version that still hit or miss

Thank you! I work in construction and have been taking all the cable that gets skipped home with me but it's been building up faster than I can strip it using a shop-bought cable stripper that is only designed to strip a few inches at most of the end and or using a Stanley Blade and doing it across my lap which has resulted in numerous cuts on my fingers and tattered trousers I'm gonna make one of these as it looks like it makes life one hell of a lot easier!

@CyberRecycle 4 года назад

i hope this comes in handy... a blade in the lap sounds painful : ) thanks for watching!

@namtalf 2 года назад

Made one of these today and is probably the best design and easiest to make and is very safe to use

@paulfroese1469 3 года назад

Safest and easiest i've seen so far, clever.

@rcwarship 5 лет назад

Beautiful! I made one in about 45 minutes and it works like a charm! Easy to build & efficient, who could ask for anything more. Thank You Very Much!!!

@karnajaya6127 4 года назад

Not ,finish video ,sir

@billybobb7252 3 года назад

All good but l just use a blade clamped in the vice between two washers. l just put it in the right side of the vice and drag the wire over the blade. You can use different thickness washers for different size wire . Just make sure the blade tip is not protruding above the top of the vice for safety.

@sapphodesigns2377 7 лет назад

Very clever and simple. It's the best process I've seen yet!..well done and thanks for sharing

@CyberRecycle 7 лет назад

thank you for the kind words of encouragement. your feedback makes a huge difference in motivating me to do more. i appreciate your view. thanks again!!

@RickSaffery 6 лет назад

I like your stripper design. I think it's more practical and efficient than the roller types that tend to crush the insulation off the wire. I will make two modifications to your approach. I prefer to pull the wire horizontally like another person who commented. My stripper will use a two blade approach for each given wire size. Where the blades are 180-degrees apart. Using two blade should make it even easier to get the insulation to simply fall away. Thanks for sharing your idea!

@CyberRecycle 6 лет назад

thanks for the support and feedback. i made it as simple as possible.. good luck with yours, feel free to drop by and share your results

@jamesstare9963 4 года назад

Thank you for the great idea! I had been thinking about how to make a cable stripper for a few days and then came across your video and it solved my problem. I used two pieces of wood instead of metal and clamped them in my vice to hold it down. It only took me 10 mins to make a simple one. And I stripped 100+ feet of 10gauge copper in about 5 mins. Thanks again!

@b106dom1 4 года назад

I’ve just bought an electric stripper for £149. Well worth the extra expense for the production of scrap wire.

@CyberRecycle 4 года назад

that will be next for me... how is your stripper going?

@tajredgwell3662 5 лет назад

thank you so much I had over 50 kg of wire and this helped me so much

@CyberRecycle 5 лет назад

excellent! im glad it was useful. cheers for the feedback

@adventuresunknown1013 5 лет назад

Great video, I think that I have all the pieces. I will be putting one together after I make sure that I have all the items. I have liked and subscribed and rang the bell. 👍

@1965kiss 6 лет назад

Very nice tutorial

@ramtuffman1 5 лет назад

Great idea. Ive watched videos amd tried making other contraptions to strip wire. But this one by far is the best and easiest to use. So easy its almost addictive. 👍🏻👍🏻

@CyberRecycle 5 лет назад

awesome feedback, thank you. im happy it is useful to you :)

@ninjabothandyman6063 4 года назад

Nicely done

@CyberRecycle 4 года назад

Thank you! Cheers!

@tony5316 Год назад

Tried this exact setup, doesn't work. The blade pushes itself out after about 8 inches so I don't end up with a deep enough score to pull the wire out of the insulation. Either that or the wire rolls to the side and the same thing happens.

@mustafaaustinpowers5748 8 лет назад

What a innovative idea.

@CyberRecycle 7 лет назад

thank you. it was born out of necessity..

@trash2cash841 6 лет назад

Love it thanx, just subscribed :)

@garindadson9828 7 лет назад

I like it a lot, I just need a drill press and I can make my own now ;)

@CyberRecycle 7 лет назад

actually... my first prototype was drilled by a hand drill. it took a lot of patience and a steady hand. it does work. But a drill press makes it sooo much easier and neater. cheers

@owenquinn2161 7 лет назад

thanks for the vid bud! best one and easiest cable stripper ive seen on youtube and im definitly making it. just got into hobby scrapping and i've been trying to figure out how to speed up the stripping without spending $50 plus for a machine. ive got everything but the drill bits for this build!

@CyberRecycle 7 лет назад

hey thanks mate! your words are a shot of adrenaline for an inventor/maker. I am so pleased that this stripper is going to help someone else... that's awesome. It was born out of necessity and the lack of big bucks for a pre made unit. Let us all know how you went... cheers and good luck

@owenquinn2161 7 лет назад

tsc RECYCLE e-scrapper it works however I don't have very thick angle iron so I'm kinda limited on the wire thickness and I can't seem to get the blade to stay still

@CyberRecycle 7 лет назад

hmmmm.. how about trying two square tubes side by side. It would look totally different, but will allow you to drill any size hole. As for the blade, the only way is to squeeze it in place with extreme pressure (as its not possible to put a bolt through the blade). I will try to make a video for you, for larger diameter cables.

@juliancarter4550 5 лет назад

Very simple and works well thanks much

@CyberRecycle 5 лет назад

wonderful thanks :)

Nice design thanks for sharing

@jasonloukx1653 2 года назад

Genius... definitely doing this. Subbed also... Nice work... much thanks.

@mattyal9347 3 года назад

This is the one!

@nelagordon24 7 лет назад

So for larger sized wires I will need to get thicker brackets? BTW nice work good thinking buddy.

@CyberRecycle 7 лет назад

yep. spot on. it gets tricky with really thick cables, but a wooden tool might work better in those cases. thanks for watching

@ScrappingwithGrandpa 2 года назад

New subscriber here thank you for the video awesome job

@dtarykpig8274 2 года назад

Exactly

@kathleen0823 Год назад

Well you did not show how you ran the wire through the stripe it!

@RODsDIY 5 лет назад

Nicely done, although I'm looking for a motor driven stripper. Video well done also. However, can you explain why is it we always recommend using gloves and goggles in our videos, but we don't use them ourselves?

@CyberRecycle 5 лет назад

cheers mate. motor driven was outta my league at the time. the safety disclaimer is 'do as i say, not as i do' so the lawyers wont get rich ;) i prefer to omit the gloves around high speed machines, no snag risks. thanks for watching p.s. good luck with your channel, good content!

@RODsDIY 5 лет назад

Thanks for visiting my channel@@CyberRecycle. Happy to hear you liked it, an incentive to keep on going. Luck to you too

@RODsDIY 5 лет назад

Thanks for watching and your generous comment.

@irmafromtx 3 года назад

I didn’t see you finish it all I saw was you bundle the copper what happened???

@mshane86 5 лет назад

Same idea but I always drill some holes in a 2x4 then hammer the blades in.

@CyberRecycle 5 лет назад

do you fasten the blade or just hammer it..can this achieve millimeter accuracy when piercing the sheath? please some more info, i am curious- any vids?

@raycoffey2297 3 года назад

Good to know

@AndrewBuchen 4 года назад

Don't ya just love it when someone tells you to wear safety glasses and gloves and don't practice what they preach?

@billybobb7252 3 года назад

Yep that's typical of the bone headed Aussie diy bogan. :... I've seen the same sort of attitude on Aussie mower repair vids. Arr ya gotta laugh eh .

@josephburnham4621 4 года назад

Nice even the comment one nice stripper to go lol

@MrLynkz84 3 года назад

Note sure why you would make that whole video and not show the thing in action?

@umarhussain8611 3 года назад

You need to move onto bigger wire

@PERTHWESTOZRC 6 лет назад

Good job mate. Had no idea this channel was doing much better than cyber mack.. You make me wanna go scrapping, can you make decent coin out of it?

@CyberRecycle 6 лет назад

thanks Bro, the Scrapping community is a very active and supportive bunch. I started this channel before Cyber MacGyver, but love them both equally ;) Its a good idea to collect power cables in wheelie bins, and then cash them in before christmas for beer money. $2-$6 per kilo. pure copper is best. i clean out my workshop when i get a trailer load, get over $200 a load ( no tip fees either).

@ScrapVulture111 7 лет назад

@CyberRecycle 7 лет назад

hi mate. i am now!. I've been off air for a while, extended family time. I'm sorry for the delay in responding. New videos this month! thanks for watching. have a safe one :)

demo vid link is in the description, its ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JAEUKvGBSuQ.html thanks for watching

@jeph4life 8 лет назад

if you left those threaded parts on you could of chucked it up in a vice and pulled the wire horizontally

@CyberRecycle 8 лет назад

+jeph4life hi. do you mean; stand the tool vertically in a vice and use it as normal, except pull on a horizontal axis? if so, then you're spot on. However i like to clamp it down with a G clamp and pull the cable vertically (for convenience). Thanks a lot for watching. Cheers
