Hi Rich,
Aircraft grade wires are particularly difficult to strip because of
the "Bullet Proof" Tefzel insulation.
I have found the same tools and techniques that work so well for
lesser insulation materials work best for this stuff too. It just
takes more practice and sharper edges to get it done well.
I like using the cheapest wire stripper I own (and I have a lot of
them) for normal wire stripping. This is a scissors like device with
4 sharp edges that meet at the same point. I put the wire in and
twist the wire and tool a little to cut all the way around.
A very sharp knife (utility or box cutter?) can work well for outer
insulation on cables. For Coaxial cable I use a more expensive
purpose built tool I got at Radio Shack. These cables are more
challenging because the insulated cable length is critical for
attaching the BNC connectors.
Good luck,
Paul
