This paper proposes a novel fiber endface preparation tool for optical fiber joints that employs thermal surface cleaning and thermal endface cutting. This tool has great advantages in terms of fiber endface preparation time, and fiber endface stability when fiber is cut repeatedly. Stable thermal surface cleaning and thermal endface cutting are achieved by selecting suitable heating conditions. The fiber endface preparation time can be reduced to 50% of that required with conventional tools. The fiber endface stability obtained using thermal cutting is more than five times better than that obtained with the conventional tool using a blade.
