A cable stripper comprising:
- a cable support;
- a blade carriage biased toward the cable support so that a cable to be processed is engagable between the cable support and the blade carriage;
- and
- a blade assembly including a blade, the blade assembly being supported by the blade carriage so as to be operable for the blade to penetrate a jacket of the cable at a predetermined depth, the blade being axially moveable relative to the blade carriage while the cable is engaged between the blade carriage and the cable support, the blade also being rotationally moveable between a plurality of positions relative to the blade carriage while the cable is engaged between the blade carriage and the cable support, the plurality of positions being operable for the blade to produce cuts in a jacket of the cable corresponding to a radial cut, a plurality of spiral cuts and an axial cut, the plurality of positions corresponding to the radial cut, the plurality of spiral cuts and the axial cut defining an angular rotation of the blade of about 90 degrees.
