Cast Master STP 5000 USA Drill Operated Copper Wire Stripping Machine for Scrap Copper Recycling

Had some missing parts. Contacted seller. Sent them out right away. Inly complaint is the set screw on the shaft was cross threaded an it doesn’t feed well. Will have to drill an tap to be fixed🤨🤨

Makes stripping wire a breeze

Will this strip wire? Yes, eventually it will but it'll take a lot of effort to get there. I would say setup on this machine is not easy or quick. It takes several adjustments to get the pressure just right on the insulation where the blade would cut through fully.To begin, the blade that was installed from the factory had a chip on it (see photo) and it just simply would not strip anything. I also noticed that the hardware securing the blade was overly tight, not allowing the blade to spin freely. After taking the whole thing apart and replacing the blade, I was able to get it to start stripping wire.It does take several adjustments to get the pressure just right to where it will cut through the insulation. Thicker, softer insulation was a challenge as so much pressure was needed to cut through all the insulation that it was very time consuming to make any progress on a length of wire.I never was able to pull the wire through the stripper, I always had to push the wire through. Any time I tried to pull the wire through, the wire would slip out of the blade and you'd have to cut it and start over. You definitely can not run an already stripped length of wire through again to restart the stripping, you must cut off the already stripped portion and start again on an un-stripped end. I eventually realized that the blade was not centered on the wheels (see photo), I believe this is why I constantly had the wire slipping out from under the blade.I was never able to strip anything under 10AWG. The insulation on 12AWG and 14AWG wire (stranded and solid copper wire) was too small and the blade holder would bottom out in the machine and never cut through the insulation.I was able to strip some wire but the time required was not worth it for the small amount of extra money you make selling bare bright copper over #2 insulated copper. I can not recommend this product. I would save your money and buy a StripMiester instead.

Very happy with this tool. It has made stripping wire so much easier and faster. Seems to be well made.

Stp 3000 great invention. My hands are NOT all tore up from stripping wire the old fashion way. I really liked the operating maual video especially the creepy assistance guy he's a hoot! My girlfriend & I will definitely spread the goods here on the West Coast @ Cast Master's products. Thanks again Cast Master Team!

All I can say it does its job and worked well for me

Works well and is high quality.

This thing doesn't strip anything. I can get flat 12-2 or 14-2 Romex outer jacket off and won't touch the single wires. It won't strip the outer jacket off any round Romex such as 10-3 and again forget the single wires. If i cut the outer jacket off of 6awg or larger by hand it will strip the single wires but it takes a couple of passes. I have no practical use for this thing it was a very expensive aluminum paper weight.
