The AV3825 cable knife enables precise, fast and safe stripping of all common round cables with a diameter between 4 and 28 millimeters. The cutting depth of the cutting knife can be continuously adjusted using an adjusting wheel in the housing. This prevents damage to the inner conductors. The cutting knife is self-rotating and integrated in the housing, allowing automatic switching from round to longitudinal cutting. The additional stripping function is housed in the housing and enables the stripping of all common flexible and solid conductors with a cross-section between 0.5 and 6 square millimeters.
