A method of removing insulation from an electrical cable. The method includes: moving a cutting surface of the insulation cutting blade in a rotary direction relative to the insulation of the cable; cutting the insulation to a defined depth with the cutting surface of the insulation cutting blade as the insulation cutting blade is moved in the rotary direction, the defined depth being less than the thickness of the insulation; moving the cutting surface of insulation cutting blade in a radial direction relative to the insulation of the cable; and cutting the insulation from the defined depth with the cutting surface of the insulation cutting blade as the insulation cutting blade is moved in the radial direction. The entire thickness of the insulation is cut by the combination of the movement of the insulation cutting blade in the rotary direction and in the radial direction.

An apparatus for cable stripping and preparation. The apparatus includes a first drive mechanism and a second drive mechanism which is spaced from and in line with the first drive mechanism. Blade control arms with insulation cutting blades are movably mounted relative to the first drive mechanism and the second drive mechanism. The first drive mechanism moves the insulation cutting blades from a first position to a second position. The second drive mechanism rotates the insulation cutting blades when the insulation cutting blades are in the second position.

A cutting tool for cutting flexible building materials, such as, for example, rubber or vinyl baseboards, chair rails and crown molding, at an angle. The cutting tool includes a pair of risers moveably connected near a center of a base with a hinge connection. A blade holder and blade positioned between the risers and moveable from a starting position to a cutting position. The blade can be set to a range of angles relative to the base by rotating the risers and locking the risers in an angle relative to the base.

A cutter of a printer including a rectangular housing in which a paper feeding roller and a fixed blade are integrally coupled to each other. The cutter includes a movable member corresponding to a plate-shape member having a slot at the center of a body provided at an upper side of the housing corresponding to the fixed blade such that a movable blade at one side is engaged with the fixed blade while being selectively reciprocally moved. The cutter includes a motor within the housing generating a forward or reverse driving force, a gear unit including a driving gear installed in a driving shaft of the motor, a reduction gear engaged with the driving gear and an idle gear engaged with a shaft gear. The cutter includes an eccentric plate coupled to an upper surface of the driven gear for applying external force for reciprocal motion to the movable member.

A cutting tool for cutting building materials at a range of angles from vertical and/or horizontal and with an additional adjustment mechanism for adjusting the cutting angle up or down by a small angle. More specifically, this invention relates to a cutting tool including a base, a support surface, and a cutting platform, where the cutting platform can be set at a plurality of angles to the base including, but not limited to, angles of 22.5, 30, 45, and 90, and the support surface can be angled slightly up or down by a small amount, for example 1 or 2, to slightly adjust an angle of the cut.

A sheet punching device including: a die which has a die hole and is configured to be driven to rotate; a punch configured to move in and out of the die hole to punch a hole in a sheet; and a punch operating unit configured to reciprocate the punch with respect to the die hole in a state in which the punch is opposed to the die hole of the die, to move the punch in and out of the die hole.
