  • Patent number: 5158124
    Abstract: A machine for cutting off the waste end portions of semi-circular or semi-elliptical members used for framing windows. The curved members are held in the desired fixed relationship by clamping members and saw mechanisms are transversely movable adjacent each end to perform the cutting action. When two halves are to be cut simultaneously they are clamped in transversely spaced relationship so the ends are cut during one pass to insure that the two halves will accurately form a full frame assembly.
