Benchtop Wire Cutting and Stripping Machine, 0.1–4.5 mm², Touchscreen WM-1235
The WM-1235 is a 32 kg benchtop cut-and-strip machine for 0.1–4.5 mm² hookup wire. It cuts from 1 to 9,999 mm, strips up to 35 mm at the head and 15 mm at the tail, opens up to 11 mid-wire windows, and runs 3,000–8,000 pieces an hour on 100 mm wires from a colour touchscreen. The specification also lists AWG 14–32; we treat the fine end as a sample-run question, not a promise, and run your wire on video before you order.

Key features
- Colour touchscreen in English — Length, Front LEN, Tail LEN, Cutter DIA, Peel Off — so a new operator sets a recipe in minutes instead of guessing at a keypad code
- Head strip to 35 mm and up to 11 mid-wire windows, for grounding chains and jumper loops that come off the machine ready to crimp
- 3,000–8,000 short wires an hour from a box two people lift onto any bench; 200 W on 220 or 110 V, no compressed air
- Cutter diameter is a set value, not a stepped guess — that is what keeps a thin-wall PVC jacket from being cut through to the strands
- Suitable insulation includes PVC, Teflon, silicone and glass-fibre; on anything but ordinary PVC we run your wire first
What it processes
- Single-core hookup wire in the 0.1–4.5 mm² band for appliance, panel and electronics harnesses
- Jumpers and grounding chains with up to 11 mid-span windows programmed in one recipe
- Bench cells that need a programmable cutter beside the crimp press without an air line
Suited for: 0.1–4.5 mm² single-core hookup wire cut to length with head, tail and mid-wire stripping, set from a touchscreen. Not suited for: wire above 4.5 mm² — WM-167 (0.1–10 mm²). Sheathed multi-core — WM-168HT. The narrower, keypad version in the same housing — WM-1236. Scrap copper reclaim — a different class of machine altogether.
A heavy spool drags on the feed rollers and the cut length walks. If the reel is not free-spinning, add a pay-off to the inquiry — the WM-9154 covers reels to 25 kg.

- Cut Lengths Drifting on a Full Spool: Pay-Off Tension, Straightener Bearings and MisfeedWhy a cut-and-strip machine that held length on a loose coil walks 10–20 mm once a heavy reel goes on, how misfeed detection works, and how to check reel tension, straighteners, feed grip and encoder calibration.
- Minimum Strip Length: The Number Most Machine Specifications Leave OutHow to specify minimum strip length, distinguish a programmable setting from an achieved result, and verify the required preparation against the terminal drawing.

WM-1235 — common questions
The specification says AWG 32. Will it hold that?
The table lists both 0.1–4.5 mm² and AWG 14–32, and those two ranges disagree at the fine end (AWG 32 is about 0.03 mm²). We treat the fine end as a sample question. Send 2–3 metres of your finest wire; we run 100 pieces on video and you write the procedure around what you see, not around a table.
Will it nick strands on PTFE?
PTFE is within the listed insulation types, and the set cutter diameter helps, but the answer on your wall thickness comes from a run on your wire. Send the wire and the strip length you need.
Same box as the WM-1236?
Same 390 × 350 × 255 mm / 32 kg housing, different machine. This page is 4.5 mm² / 200 W with a colour touchscreen; the WM-1236 is 2.5 mm² / 160 W with an LCD keypad. Quote the page you are looking at.
Does the screen ship in English? What voltage arrives?
Yes — the screen in the gallery is the English interface and the manual is English. It runs on 220 or 110 V; we set it for your country before shipment.
Where do blades and the conduit come from?
They are the wear parts on this class. Every quote lists them with unit price and the location they ship from.
