An embedded wire removal tool is disclosed. The embedded wire removal tool can include a feed mechanism operable to cause movement of a cable. The cable can have a jacket about a core. The cable can also include a wire disposed about the core and at least partially embedded in the jacket. The embedded wire removal tool can also include a jacket cutter operable to receive the cable from the feed mechanism and remove at least a portion of the jacket. In addition, the embedded wire removal tool can include a wire excavator operable to separate the wire from the core.
