As the endface preparation of the coated optical fiber, cutting using thermal stress is carried out, and a ceramic heater is used as a heat source, thereby making it possible to provide a coated optical fiber endface preparation method and tool capable of increasing the cutting success rate of the coated optical fiber. The coated optical fiber is removed of its coating to obtain the bare optical fiber. The bare optical fiber is heated by the heat source consisting of the ceramic heater, and is cut by further adding stress to part of the bare optical fiber which has been provided with the thermal stress. When heating the bare optical fiber, the product of a temperature and the heating time of the heat source is made 3000° C. sec or more.
