heres a scrap[ cable crusher and cutter ive made it crushes up to 25mm which splits the insulation from the conductor and just peels apart it also has slitting wheel for cutting armoured cable with the apropriate wheel disks. it will slice up to 4inch armoured running at 100rpm on a 2 horse motor and cut about 100m in 3mins the only thing needs finishing is guards and a quick kill switch as it wont stop if wire gets hold of u

Nice bit of kit, it's stripping the XLPE insulation from the cores in SWA I find a lot harder than the older PVC stuff!

What a machine, I never saw 1 before. I have spent hours burning cable and stripping with a knife for scrap copper. I recon for all the times I would use it, I could make up a hand driven one with just a handle on the end of the feed wheel shaft, hope you don't have a patent on it. Thanks very much (",).
