Perhaps not.
There are indeed a large number of cutters and strippers. The variety
available for Xcelite alone is absurdly large. without seeing them and
trying them, it is all but impossible to tell whether they are any use
for the task.
The stripper in a typical hand-wrap tool for example, I find all but
useless as I can get an adequate grip on the wire and to leave a short
strip of 1mm or so needs two operations - a long strip followed by
trimming back.
This is why I asked for the voice of experience.
I like Stefan's idea. I may be able to make something like it by taking
some relatively cheap cutters, abuse them on a small piece of piano wire
to make the notch, then grind back a cutting edge.
Of course, I could just make good boards in the first place.
