Thats pretty cool even a machine for just getting the wire out of the romex sheathing would be nice. No joke I know a guy that stripped hundreds of pounds of solid #14 up to #8 THHN by hand with a pair of Klein strippers.
Until I retired I worked on heavy power equipment, stripping out transformer tails put a few pennies in our pockets.
It came down to the size of the cable as to do we strip it. There’s a bad habit in the UK of setting fire to cable to burn the insulation off. It’s illegal due to our pollution laws, it doesn’t stop it happening.
Bright copper obviously fetches the best price
Burnt copper about 25% of bright
Un-stripped small stuff you can’t give away
Cable theft is now a major problem. I lost supply to one of our plants in the middle of the night. I checked the 3.3KV breaker feeding the OH line, it was out on both O/L and E/F. I sent my mate to the plants substation and closed the breaker. It held, but when I radioed my mate “nothing here”
Whoever it was had chucked a chain over the lines and ½ a mile was missing.
How the hell they did it I don’t know, they were damned quick off the mark.
