stripping small teflon coated silver wiring

Cable Asylum

Interconnects, speaker wire, power cords. Ask the Cable Guys.

I'm posting here as this is a wiring related issue. I'm building an amp for my 2nd system. While most of the internal wiring will be either 14 or 18 awg (Vampire cast copper) , for the input signal wiring I've settled on 23 awg Neotech 7/9 solid silver/teflon wire. All my strippers only go down to 22 awg. I have an Ideal 45-092 which I like a lot and I could order the 20 - 30 awg blade set for, or both Hakko and Klein both make out front 20 - 30 awg strippers that look ok. Alas none of these contains a die specifically for 23 awg .Is 22 close enough to 23 that it won't matter (teflon coated remember ? Should I make an initial cut using a good 22 awg die and finish with a razor and then remove with needlenose ? I only need 12 cuts so I'd like to forgo a thermal stripper if I can. OPINIONS PLEASE!!!!!

I use an adjustable Miller for 26 AWG... - DeKay 19:57:27 07/28/14 (0)

22 should be able to cut 23. The cutter will cut through one side at least. - Nuit 10:22:20 07/28/14 (0)
