Your questions are best answered by looking up the specifications of the
particular crimp connector you will be using. The manufacturer of each crimp
connector will have details regarding the stripping lengths and die sizes.
Best bet is to Google the connector manufacturer.

The die size is actually specific to the connector, but in my experience
.215 (.213 on some crimpers) is the one you will use for the braid crimp on
most RG-58 connectors. The smaller sizes is for crimping the center pin.
This one really depends on the specific connector, but generally the .068
Oh, forgot to add... I never crimp the center pin - I always solder it.

Hi Albert,
Do a Google search for THREE BLADE COAXIAL STRIPPERS. I just bought two pair
from the ELECTRICAL TOOL STORE.COM for $10.50 each. They make a two blade
tool also, but it does not do the complete job. After taking some RG/58,
RG/400 Double Shield, RG/8X etc and just getting the hang of

Chuck, I work for a National Telecom company here in Canada
and we crimp everything used on DS-3 (BNC) and above. For the center pin

them, and three or four two-way radio shops

I just purchased a crimper and a couple sets of dies. I bought some
cheap BNC and TNC connectors to practice with along with some RG-58A/U
