FOR BUFFERED OR JACKETED FIBERS
Micro-Strip® stripping tools from Micro Electronics strip buffered fiber up to 2360µm, and jacketed fiber up to 3.5 mm quickly and easily. Try the convenient Fiber Stripping Kits containing standard handles with interchangeable cutter blade sets and fiber guides to strip most fiber sizes. Or if you prefer, purchase Micro-Strip® tools individually fitted for the fiber or jacket diameter you specify with cutter blade set and fiber guide already installed.
To Order a Complete Micro-Strip® Tool or Replacement Blade Set Follow These Instructions.
1. From table, identify fiber coating or cladding diameter you wish to strip down to. Read across to Complete Tool Catalog Number.
2. From Fiber Guide Selection table, identify desired coating or buffer diameter to learn Fiber Guide Catalog Number. Put 2-digit code in Complete Tool Catalog Number space to complete it.
3. Order complete tool. Proper cutter blade set will be provided. 4. Order replacement cutter blade sets and fiber guides as needed.

For best results use .0063 inch blade when removing a 250µm coating and use a .0080 inch blade when removing a 900µm buffer.
# For best results when stripping secondary buffer down to primary 250µm coating use blade size .021 inch.
## For best results when stripping secondary buffer down to primary 500µm coating use blade size .028 inch. ^ Includes tool individually boxed with cleaning tool, push tool and instructions.
* Catalog numbers are for two cutter blade sets packaged together with a matching fiber guide lock. Each blade consists of a pair of joined, matched blades which must be snapped apart prior to use. Matched cutter blade sets are NOT interchangeable, and must only be used with their matching half.
NOTE: MS1 and MS2 components are not interchangeable.
