Abstract
An adjustable wire stripper has a jaw for positioning a length of cable, a tool body for tangentially contacting the cable, a blade having a cantilevered loading ramp for cutting the insulation off the cable, and a blade angle adjustment shaft driven by an angle adjustment member. A frame member disposed between the jaw and the body adjusts the distance between the jaw and the body to accommodate cables of different diameters. The frame member relatively moves the jaw and the body with respect to each other along a line having a constant sliding angle. The angle adjustment shaft has a flange extending radially outwardly for driving the shaft to different angles of rotation with respect to the body. An optional assist spring bearing opposite the flange urges the flange against the blade angle adjustment member during movement of the flange to reduce backlash of the shaft.
