An apparatus for the stripping of insulation lengthwise from an insulated wire or cable on a continuous basis for the recovery of the metal core of the wire or cable. The apparatus has a framework supporting a rotatable feeder wheel having one or more generally "V"-shaped grooves or cable guide paths that are preferably of unlike circumferences so that varying diameters of insulated cable may be stripped quickly. The feeder wheel works in cooperation with a movable carriage assembly supporting rotatable circular cutting tools. The grooves can be formed with shoulders and relieved slots for grabbing the cable. The apparatus further has a transmission mounted to the framework and connected to the feeder wheel by a shaft. The transmission is driven by either a removable electric motor or fixed electric motor.
