  • Cut-off mechanism for elongate stock
    Publication number: 20030116002
    Abstract: A cut-off mechanism for forming metal parts from elongate stock and the like includes a first jaw having a first cutting surface that extends from a sharpened cutting edge. A second jaw has a second cutting surface that extends from a sharpened cutting edge. A connector pivotally interconnects the first and second jaws in a side-by-side relationship at a location spaced apart from the first and second cutting surfaces. The connector positions the leading edges of the first and second cutting surfaces in close planar alignment to shear cut stock positioned therebetween. The cutting edge of the first cutting surface has a hook-shaped side elevational configuration extending arcuately between an outer tip portion thereof and an inner base portion thereof.

  • Cut-off mechanism for elongate stock
    Patent number: 6520060
    Abstract: A cut-off mechanism for forming metal parts from elongate stock and the like includes a first jaw having a laterally inclined first cutting surface that extends between a sharpened leading edge and a trailing edge. A second jaw has a laterally inclined second cutting surface that extends between a sharpened leading edge and a trailing edge. A connector pivotally interconnects the first and second jaws in a side-by-side relationship at a location spaced apart from the first and second cutting surfaces. The connector positions the leading edges of the first and second cutting surfaces in close planar alignment to shear cut stock positioned therebetween. The leading edge of the first cutting surface has a hook-shaped side elevational configuration extending arcuately between an outer tip portion thereof and an inner base portion thereof.
