If you have free time and access to waste wires and cables, you can clean it from isolation and deliver, for example, in the reception or non-ferrous metals can try a variety of copper wire crafts with their hands. Look, what do pretty beautiful decoration, at the top left of the screen.
When I started to clean copper wire I used ordinary paint knife, which first notched outer insulation of the cable, and then removed it. It remained to remove the colored insulation, which I shot this simple way. Knife sharp angle cuts a fine isolation and practically does not spoil the copper part of the wire. This is important if you decide to engage in the manufacture of handicrafts of copper wire.
In general, such isolation purification method suited me, as was the single-core wire. However, after a while I started to think about the mechanization of cleaning wire insulation to accelerate this process.
With a flexible, multi-core cable outer insulation of the cable is removed normally, but with copper twisted together lived remove colored insulation knife problematic. The knife incision in one or more veins and completely stuck, stubbornly unwilling to move on. This I did not even take the wire as clean it in this way is almost impossible.
When I was faced with a large number of fine stranded wire, which was a pity to just throw away, I decided it was time to make a device to clean it from the insulation.
This device consists of two halves between which a groove propylene. One side of the device designed for trimming the outer cable insulation. On the opposite side also has a groove which is slightly smaller and in turn, for removal of insulation directly from the copper wires. Inside is a paint knife blade that looks out of the groove so that the incision in the insulation, but not touch the copper part of the wire.
The following is designed to clean very thin insulation core wire. In a single piece of wood I have done longitudinal propyl hacksaw and drill 2 holes for bolts that clamp between wood blade.
Now I'll show how this works with a flexible stranded wire. The blade makes an incision in isolation and does not cling to the wire, it is impossible to make a painting knife. There remains a slight movement of the hands to separate the copper from the insulation.
Let's take a closer look at these devices. The halves of the device are fastened with screws to press the puck and held between a blade.
The wire passing through the slot, concerns the tip of the blade and the incision insulation. In this device, the blade can be used to dull and are no longer suitable for other jobs. When fragments of the blade the tip becomes sharp enough for our purposes. In an extreme case, the tip of the blade can tweak diamond needle files.
Putting the device. To twist the screws and set the blade to the correct depth of the recess we isolation. To remove the outer insulation of the blade putting forward a little more than Cable, as it is thicker, stripping wires with less. Then tighten the blade until it clicks.
These devices are safe, as the blades are in the groove. They can be transferred without additional protection.
A device for a thin wire I made from a single piece of wood, which cut through the longitudinal groove hacksaw. One side of the groove is lower than the other is made in the form of the blade.
The process of installing the blade, this device is similar to the previous one.
Do not forget to adjust the blade so that it is only an incision in isolation and did not concern the copper wire strands. This is to ensure that the blade is not as fast tupilos. And for the manufacture of handicrafts of copper wire it is even important as a copper wire is left traces on the knife, and the thin stranded wire remains intact.
An apparatus for cleaning a wire insulation pocket type convenient and practical. With it accelerates the process of cleaning is particularly thin wires stranded. Now I reflect on the creation of a mechanical device for cleaning the wire to further increase the rate of insulation removal process.
As soon as I had made, for sure I will share with you his work and assembly process.
And now I suggest you look at how work my pocket tools for stripping wires.
