The present invention provides a method of and apparatus for processing of an electrical connection terminal for a coaxial cable, wherein the processing is automated and further laborsaving can be achieved in the processing operation. The apparatus comprises a tool means 11 for axially stripping an outer-side insulator layer 5 in a terminal portion of a coaxial cable 1 by a predetermined length and supporting the stripped terminal portion of the coaxial cable, a turn means for tilting an axis Ax1 of the tool means by an angle of alpha degrees with respect to an axis Ax2 of the coaxial cable to thereby turn the tool means, and an advancing/retreating means for advancing/retreating the tool means on the axis of the coaxial cable, wherein a clearance is provided between an inner-side insulator layer 3 and a mesh-type conductor layer 4 by turning the tool means using the turn means to thereby expand the mesh-type insulator layer into a conical shape 6, so that the mesh-type conductor layer expanded into the conical shape is folded outside of the outer-side insulator layer in response to a forward motion by the advancing/retreating means and a folded exposure portion 7 is thereby formed.
