Abstract

An apparatus for placing slits in wire insulation including a pair of opposed cutting blade assemblies moveable toward the wire to penetrate the wire insulation down to the conductor. The cutting blade assemblies are configured to create one or more sections of the insulation which will completely separate from the wire conductor, or which will be held together remaining in contact with the wire conductor with a small unslit insulation portion.
