Abstract

A rotating trimmer in a wire trimming machine is shown comprising a cylindrical trunk with a champhered bore for receiving an insulated wire or coaxial cable, and an open midsection for evacuating the trimmed insulation from the wire. The edge of a cutting tool is located in a slot adjacent the midsection to engage and trim the wire. The mass of the trimmer is symmetrically distributed about the longitudinal axis for uniform rotation and trimming.
