This document provides information on two cable preparation tools: the WS 15 Adjustable Semi-con Scoring Tool and the WS 74 Semi-con Removal Tool. The WS 15 scores the insulation shield of cables up to 1.75 inches in diameter, peeling it off in a continuous spiral piece. The WS 74 removes semi-con insulation from cables between 12-50mm in diameter, chamfering the end at a 20 degree angle and allowing square cuts without extra tools. Both tools are made for precise, safe removal of cable insulation and come with replacement blades.
