A cable stripper apparatus is disclosed for stripping insulation from an electric cable. The apparatus includes a framework and a driven wire feeder rotatably secured to the framework. A guide is provided for guiding the cable towards the wire feeder. The guide includes a movable spacer bar which extends towards the wire feeder. A cutter has a cutting edge which is disposed spaced and parallel to an axis of rotation of the wire feeder. The cutter is connected to the framework immediately adjacent to the wire feeder. The arrangement is such that when the cable is guided by the guide towards the wire feeder, the wire feeder, spacer bar and the cutter cooperate with each other for stripping the insulation from the cable. A cam is rotatably supported by the framework for moving the movable spacer bar relative to the framework to a required location of a plurality of locations of the movable spacer bar. The cam defines a plurality of cam faces such that when the cam is selectively rotated, a corresponding cam face of the plurality of cam faces cooperates with and moves the spacer bar to the required location of the spacer bar for guiding a particular gauge wire towards the cutter.
