Stripping magnet wire? You mean like after making coils and wanting to
solder them to something? Why bother? Just put a blob of solder on
your iron's tip and put the end of the magnet wire into the solder blob.
After several seconds, the insulation will melt off and the wire end
will be tinned with solder and ready for install!

This is only true for some types- like Belden Soldereze. Many others will


not be touched by heat- formvar for example.

I usually just take a piece of 120-400 grit sandpaper, fold it in half
and pull the wire through it. Several passes usually is enough.
