An improved apparatus for cutting and stripping insulated wire. The apparatus includes a pair of cutting and stripping units which are mounted on a supporting structure in opposed relation and each cutting and stripping unit includes a central cutting knife and a pair of stripping knives, spaced laterally on opposite sides of the cutting knife. The insulated wire is fed between the cutting and stripping units and when a predetermined length of wire has been fed, the cutting units are moved toward each other in a first stroke of movement to cause the cutting knives to cut a length of wire. The wire and the cut length are then moved axially away from each other by gripping units in a first stroke of movement to position the cut end of the wire and the end of the cut length between the cutting knives and the respective stripping knives. The cutting and stripping units are then moved toward each other in a second stroke of movement to cut the insulation, and the gripping units are subsequently moved in a direction away from each other in a second stroke of movement to strip the insulation from the cut end of the wire and from the cut length. A mechanism is provided for adjusting the first stroke of movement of the gripping units to adjust the strip length and a second adjusting mechanism is included to adjust the stripping stroke of the cutting and stripping units to accommodate different gauges of wire.
