A machine for stripping automatically the sheath from metal cored cables comprises a pair of driving wheels for feeding the cable to be stripped through a nip between the wheels, one of the driving wheels having a fixed axis and the other driving wheel being movable linearly towards and away from the wheel with the fixed axis and being biassed towards it, and a pair of opposed cutting wheels each having a peripheral cutting edge projecting into the region of the nip substantially midway between the driving wheels so that, as the cable is fed through the nip, the sheath of the cable is slit by the cutting wheels continuously along the length of the cable on opposite sides of the cable to enable the sheath to separate from the core, the cutting wheels being linked to the movable driving wheel in such a way that when the movable driving wheel is displaced towards or away from the fixed driving wheel, the cutting wheels are simultaneously displaced in the same direction but through half the distance moved by the movable driving wheel.
