    been a scrap hauler for years.
    i did it this way years ago.
    i had to move my blade every time i had a different size to do.
    but never thought of the 4 blades this way
    this is way better, im def gonna build it.

    Put a small flat screw in front of blades in hole bevel you drilled out then you can raise and lower to keep wired tight against blade you can just pull through vs sitting there on top of it trying to make sure it’s going through

    Pretty cool concept. I think you could have done 4 sizes with just 2 blades. It would be nice to have a cover over the blades that aren't in use for safety. Also it would be cool to run the wires thorugh some sort of a set of wheels or bearings to strighten it out 1st. Another idea would be to somehow make height of the blades more adjustable over just having different grooves. Maybe put the blades on a gasket of firm but squishable rubber so you could adjust the screws for wire thickness. Just ideas.

    • @PhillWyattProjects

  • @sentradynamics8889
    @sentradynamics8889 10 месяцев назад +2

    Im sure you've considered this but with the blades offset you can just flip them over when its time, to make them last twice as long. Love this idea. Ive seen others that use another board with holes, or a bit of solid strand copper formed into a coil (like a heating element) to act as a guide to feed the wires at the right height. Great video thanks for sharing!!

    • @PhillWyattProjects
      @PhillWyattProjects  10 месяцев назад +3

      Thanks! Yes I did think about that although the blades actually last a long time as they don't need to be super sharp to cut through the insulation. Also, it's easy enough to loosen the screws and swap out a blade. I'm planning on making another design soon so there will be a new video for that one.

    the grooves seem a little too deep , and you still have to "guide" them through with your hands ( either keeping them up or push them down. ) BUT it works , i think i;ll make mine not as deep specially when it comes to the very thin wire's , THANKS ,Thanks, this is food for thought.!

      Yes although it is faster than using a knife. Which is all most people have. I don't get a lot of wire often. If I did I would probably use some kind of machine to strip it.

    I street guy did this using utility blades screwed onto a pallet. I was impressed -- until I noticed the mess he left in parking lot, housing shavings & bits of multistranded wires all over. Disgusting mess, so I don't support using utility blades or any knife cutting horizontally.

      You certainly can't blame the mess on the method. Any method for removing insulation from wire is going to create a mess of some sort. The blame lies squarely on the individual for not cleaning it up.

    Far too slow to be profitable. Needs to be Moore of a self adjusting deal to keep the tension against the blade. The concept is there but definitely not a money maker. Now if you could get it to need no help? You could set up and run whole spools even with power... Cool kid project but sorry wouldn't make money.

  • @theundeadempire3640

    Is it profitable when you take into account having to replace full razor blades. I know you can get a 5 pack for like $1, but they full out quick.

    • @PhillWyattProjects
      @PhillWyattProjects  4 месяца назад +1

      Good question. I find that the blades don't need to be super sharp to cut through the soft outer coating. Also, you can quickly sharpen them up on a leather strop or a diamond plate.
