SJOOW... Cable Cutters

[gappvembe]

Are there such a thing as cable cutters specifically designed for SJOOW cords, so you don't nick the inside conductors?

I ask because it is used a lot in my plant, it would be nice to have a sure fire way to strip that outer coating.

I also want to say, if there is a better place to put questions like this and the one I had the other day... feel free to let me know.
Even if its another forum.

A swivel-blade stripper such as the Ideal 45-128 should work nicely, once you adjust it correctly. Several companies make this type of stripper.

Neat. I can get that one pretty easily. So this could also work on smaller multiconductor cables too?
What other brands are out there by chance?

I think the one I have is a Weicon, from Germany. Seatek and Paladin, and probably other firms, make similar tools. One of my co-workers has a little yellow gadget--I think it's one of these drop wire slitters--that works real well on small multi-conductor cables.
