Abstract: A second surface member is supported for movement over and relative to a first surface member in closely spaced relation wherein a long conductor gripping section on the second surface member is movable over an equal-sized long conductor gripping section on the first surface member, and a shorter conductor gripping section on the second surface member is movable over an equal-sized shorter conductor gripping section on the first surface member. A knife protrudes an adjustable amount above the surface of one of the surface members between the longer and shorter gripping sections and at least in the area of the shorter gripping section, such that an insulated conductor placed laterally of one end of the gripping sections on the first surface member is rolled over the knife between the longer and shorter gripping sections of the respective surface members by movement of the second surface member over the first surface member to circumcise a piece of insulating sheathing from the remaining insulation on the wire, whereby further relative movement of the surface members when the insulated wire reaches the end of the shorter gripping sections clamps the insulated wire against further rolling and allows the longer conductor gripping sections to continue to roll the circumcised piece of sheathing relative to the remaining insulating sheathing and wire to positively separate the two and strip the cut piece of sheathing from the wire as it is withdrawn laterally from between the two surface members.
