Miller Buffer Coating Strip Tool (1140um)

The Ripley® Miller FO 103-S-1140 is a custom, single-hole fiber optic stripper designed to accurately strip fiber down to 1140 µm (0.0450″) outer diameter. It is commonly used with non-standard or large-diameter fibers that require precise dimensional control. The stripping hole and V-opening are manufactured using a wire EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining) process, producing an exact and repeatable blade geometry that closely follows the fiber profile. This precision helps prevent scratching, nicking, or damage to the bare fiber during stripping.

The tool is factory-set and requires no adjustment. To operate, insert the buffer-coated fiber into the stripping hole, close the tool evenly, and pull along the fiber using light, steady pressure. Its compact design and calibrated hole support consistent, clean fiber stripping in lab, production, or field environments.
