Benchtop Wire Cutting and Stripping Machine, 0.1–2.5 mm², Keypad WM-1236
The WM-1236 is the keypad version of our 32 kg benchtop cut-and-strip machine, for 0.1–2.5 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, drawing 160 W on 220 or 110 V with no compressed air. Same housing as the WM-1235, narrower range, LCD keypad instead of a colour touchscreen.

Key features
- 0.1–2.5 mm² (AWG 13–27) is the everyday fine-hookup band — signal wire, appliance leads, panel jumpers — with a 160 W motor sized for it
- Head strip to 35 mm and up to 11 mid-wire windows in one recipe, so jumper chains come off ready to crimp
- LCD keypad with dedicated function keys; the same recipe logic as the touchscreen WM-1235 in a lower-cost controller
- 32 kg, 390 × 350 × 255 mm, no compressed air — sits beside the crimp press on any bench
- Suitable insulation includes PVC, Teflon, silicone and glass-fibre; on anything but ordinary PVC we run your wire first
What it processes
- Fine-to-medium hookup wire inside 0.1–2.5 mm² for electronics and appliance harnesses
- Short tails and mid-span windows on jumper and grounding wires
- A second bench cutter beside a larger programmable machine, for the short runs
Suited for: 0.1–2.5 mm² single-core hookup wire cut to length with head, tail and mid-wire stripping from a keypad controller. Not suited for: 4 mm² and above — WM-1235 (4.5 mm²) or WM-167 (10 mm²). Sheathed multi-core — WM-168HT. Scrap copper reclaim — a different class of machine altogether.
If the spool is not free-spinning, add a pay-off to the inquiry — the WM-9154 covers reels to 25 kg and stops the cut length walking as the spool empties.

WM-1236 — common questions
Same machine as the WM-1235?
Same housing and weight, different machine. The WM-1235 is 0.1–4.5 mm² / 200 W with a colour touchscreen; this page is 0.1–2.5 mm² / 160 W with an LCD keypad. Quote the page you are looking at.
Will it nick PTFE?
PTFE is within the listed insulation types, but the answer on your wall thickness comes from a run on your wire. Send 2–3 metres and we run it on video before you order.
Is the keypad in English? What voltage arrives?
Export units ship with English keypad labelling and an English manual; the unit runs on 220 or 110 V and 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.
