Frequently Asked Questions
Are these blades compatible with other brands of strippers?
No, these blades are specifically designed for use with Micro Electronics Micro-Strip series fiber strippers.
How should I install these blades?
The blades are supplied as joined, matched pairs. You should snap them apart immediately before installation into your existing fiber stripper body.
Does this set include the fiber guide?
Yes, every MS1-RB-21S set includes the matching fiber guide lock required for proper operation.
Why are there color codes for these blades?
The color coding (Blue, in this instance) helps identify the specific cutting dimensions designed for particular fiber sizes or buffer thicknesses.
How often should I replace my stripping blades?
Replacement frequency depends on usage volume and the materials being stripped; however, blades should be replaced if you notice inconsistent stripping, scoring of the fiber, or excessive force required to operate the tool.
