yes, it is different size than RG58, which is a different size than 
RG59, and they'll all need different stripping.  You might look at 
the Paladin adjustable strip tool.  You can set the blade depths and 
positions to whatever is needed.  It was a bit pricey when I bought 
mine 15 years ago, but, you can get multiple blade cassettes and just 
leave them setup for whatever kinds of coax you're using.

Google for Paladin, RG-8X, etc.
