Hi. I bought DAVIS BURYFLEX cable today and pl259 connectors.
i was about to buy a coax stripper and remembered I had an LC CST 58/59 tool(s).
LC CST Stripper RG58/59/6

DOES anyone have settings or a diagram for exact stripping dimensions key or diagram?
I would like to adjust this tool to properly strip the cable.

The other stripper is the LC CST 1257.

thank you!

Hmm, I have been using a plain old box knife for stripping.
Connector spec sheets give dimensions for cutting and stripping.
There is a difference between crimp and solder types too.

Thank you. My IPAD will not open certain files and had to wait to get to my laptop to open this PDF. I bought everything at my local HRO and the PL259 came in generic baggies with no install instructions and I am a little old school in that I use solder! I have practicing with a piece of the Davis to try and get the cable cut right so the braided portion and the dielectric are where they are suppose to be....I need to find a diagram for a generic measurement for this. It isn't rocket science but it has been a while and since I spent some coin for decent cable I want to do a good job while still on the ground!!!!! Thanks for taking the time! BTW, One thing I took from your pdf is to cut slowly and thoughtfully!!!

Precise soldering was not fun. I will be looking for a nice crimping tool. Thanks.
