StripMeister Original Scrap Wire Stripper

The StripMeister Original scrap wire stripper can process wire sizes from 18 AWG up to 250 MCM. This covers diameters ranging from 0.08 inches to 0.82 inches, or 2.0 mm to 20.8 mm. With its adjustable blade depth and guide hole system, it removes insulation cleanly across the full range without harming the copper underneath.

Yes. The StripMeister Original connects to any common corded or cordless drill. For best results, keep your drill speed at or below 350 RPM. Using a drill as the power source makes operation simple and removes the need for a built in motor or electrical outlet.

Yes. The StripMeister Original can remove insulation from both copper and aluminum wire using the same setup method. Select the smallest guide hole that fits the wire, set the blade depth with care, and test a short piece before running a full batch. The heat treated tool steel blade provides accurate stripping on either material.

Yes. The StripMeister Original scrap wire stripping tool can strip Romex, THHN, stranded wire, solid conductors, and twisted cable when set up correctly. Choose the smallest guide hole that fits the wire, adjust the blade depth carefully, and test a short piece before starting a full run. With proper alignment, all supported wire types strip cleanly and consistently.

The StripMeister Original runs at the speed of the drill you connect to it, which means output depends on your drill’s RPM, the wire size, and how the blade is set. It handles small and medium wire efficiently when operated in batches, and once the blade depth and guide hole are dialed in, stripping becomes steady and consistent across each run.

Start by cutting a small piece of the same wire you plan to strip. Choose the smallest guide hole that the wire can pass through, then bring the blade down gently until it just makes contact. Run the drill slowly and adjust the blade until you can see the copper without cutting into it. Once the test piece runs clean, you can proceed with the rest of the batch using the same settings.

Yes . ULTRA GRIP Feeder Technology helps the StripMeister Original maintain steady, consistent feeding while you strip wire. The contoured guides hold the cable securely, reduce slippage, and keep the wire aligned as it moves through the blade. This design supports smooth, jam-resistant operation, especially when working with twisted or uneven scrap wire.

Yes. The StripMeister Original can strip speaker wire and audio cable as long as the wire falls within its working range of 18 AWG to 250 MCM. Most common speaker wires fit this range and can be stripped cleanly. Wire that is smaller than 18 AWG is usually not suitable for mechanical stripping because the insulation is very thin and the strands can be delicate.

No. Cat5, Cat6, and most telephone cables use very small conductors, often around 20 to 22 gauge, which are below the StripMeister Original’s minimum capacity. The Original begins at 18 AWG, and anything smaller typically has thin insulation and delicate strands that are not suitable for mechanical stripping.

The StripMeister Original is manufactured in Canada using precision CNC machining. Its frame is constructed from solid aircraft grade aluminum, and the stripping blade is made from heat treated tool steel for long term durability. The machine also uses heat treated steel feeders and a guided feed path that help keep the wire aligned during operation.
