Abstract
Stripping and cutting apparatus in which a pair of disc cutters are affixed on a common rotatable shaft that is pivotably mounted to a rotating head. An object having an inner core member and an outer concentric member, which in the preferred embodiment is insulated conductive tubing, is advanced through a central opening in the head. The speed of the head is controlled so that at one speed the shaft is centripetally pivoted to an inner radial position that causes the closest of the cutters to block the leading end of the object, and so that at another faster speed the shaft is centrifugally pivoted to an outer radial position which removes the particular cutter from the blocking relationship with the leading end of the object thereby allowing the object to be advanced past the remote cutter for a predetermined distance, and so that at another speed, which is less than the last mentioned speed, the shaft is centripetally pivoted inward to provide concurrent cutting of the object by the two disc cutters. One of the cutters cuts a piece from the object and another cuts a portion of the outer member of the object, which portion is stripped from the cut piece by and between the cutters…
