Precision Coax Stripping Tool

The 1256 Coaxial Cable Stripper from The Eraser Company is a precision coax stripper designed for clean, consistent stripping of coaxial cable insulation in production environments. Built for reliability and accuracy, this coax stripping tool allows operators to quickly remove insulation from a wide variety of coax cables without damaging the inner conductor or shielding.

Whether you are working in electronics manufacturing, telecommunications assembly, aerospace wiring, or RF cable production, the Model 1256 provides a dependable coaxial cable stripping solution that improves consistency and reduces manual processing time.

Unlike general-purpose wire stripping tools, the 1256 coax stripper is specifically engineered to handle coaxial cable geometry, allowing precise stripping of the outer jacket while protecting the braided shield and center conductor.

Purpose-Built for Coaxial Cable Stripping

Coaxial cable requires a specialized stripping process because of its layered construction. Standard wire strippers can easily damage the dielectric insulation or the braided shield. The 1256 coax stripper solves this challenge by providing controlled blade depth and stable cable guidance, ensuring repeatable results across production runs.

This makes the machine ideal for stripping:

• RF coaxial cables
• Communication cables
• Test and instrumentation cables
• Military and aerospace coax assemblies
• Custom coax cable harnesses

By using a dedicated coaxial cable stripper, operators can achieve consistent strip lengths and clean insulation removal without nicking the center conductor.

Precision Blade Stripping Technology

The Model 1256 utilizes a precision blade stripping system designed specifically for coax cable processing. The blade cuts through the cable jacket cleanly while maintaining tight control over stripping depth.

This controlled cutting process helps prevent common coax stripping problems such as:

• Shield damage
• Center conductor nicks
• Uneven strip lengths
• Inconsistent insulation removal

The result is a clean, professional coax strip that is ready for termination or connector installation.

Consistent Results for Production Environments

Manufacturers that process coaxial cable often struggle with consistency when using manual stripping methods. The 1256 coax stripper improves repeatability, allowing operators to process cables with the same strip length and quality every time.

Benefits include:

• Faster cable preparation
• Reduced scrap and rework
• Improved connector termination quality
• More efficient production workflows

Because the machine is designed for industrial use, it performs reliably even when processing large volumes of coax cable.

Ideal for Electronics and Communications Manufacturing

The Model 1256 is widely used in industries that require precise coax cable preparation, including:

• Electronics manufacturing
• Telecommunications equipment assembly
• Aerospace and defense wiring
• RF component production
• Test equipment manufacturing

In these environments, maintaining the integrity of the coaxial cable is critical. A high-quality coax stripper ensures proper signal performance and reliable cable assemblies.

Why Use a Dedicated Coax Stripper?

Coaxial cable is built differently from standard electrical wire. Its multiple layers — including outer jacket, braided shield, dielectric insulation, and center conductor — require specialized stripping equipment.

Using a coaxial cable stripper like the Model 1256 helps ensure:

• Accurate insulation removal
• Protection of delicate shielding layers
• Clean preparation for connector installation
• Improved cable assembly quality

This makes the tool an essential part of many cable processing operations.
