Abstract: A cable-stripping tool having a body with first and second openings in an upper wall thereof, a central pin mounted in the body with an upper end thereof carrying a cutting blade and projecting through the first opening, and a hook having a concave side which faces toward the cutting blade to receive a cable to be stripped protecting through the second opening. A carrier element is supported on the central pin and axially movable relative thereto, the carrier element being provided with a latching device to which the free end of the stem portion of the hook is coupled such that the hook is axially movable with the carrier element. The latching device coacts with the stem to secure the hook to the carrier element during use of the tool and is actuatable from outside the tool without dismantling the tool such that the stem can be released from the latching device using an instrument and the hook withdrawn for replacement thereof with another hook.

Abstract: A saw blade positioning device has two drive mechanisms and two guidance devices, which are preferably oriented at right angles in respect to each other. If a first guidance device is oriented in the radial direction of the circular saw blade by the linear guides, and the other guidance device in the circumferential direction, a desired advancement curve of the engagement member, independently of the saw blade diameter, is achieved respectively by means of the same control, or respectively the same control pulses, and of the drive mechanisms, in every radial position of the first guidance device. A mechanically robust basic structure results in addition, which makes a precise positioning possible.

Abstract: A woodworking machinery jig and fixture system includes a track which is or may be attached to a fence, a convex-concave curved flip stop and a base which mounts the stop to the track. The stop has a projecting portion which penetrates the plane of the fence so the stop isn't lifted by the point of a mitered board. The stop also has a lower convex surface which faces the work support surface and curves up at both ends. The top leg of the stop is concave toward the fence to allow clearance for a zero-clearance board and make the stop adaptable to different track and fence configurations. The base has opposite sides of different widths bordered by steps on one side and a ramp on the other side so the base can be used in a large range of T-track slot widths. The arm mounting hole of the base is offset from the base mounting so as to provide an offset to accommodate a ¾? zero clearance board by turning the base a half turn relative to the slot.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for die cutting a stack consisting of sheet-type materials, in particular labels. According to said method, a movement of a stack to be cut in relation to a hollow cylindrical be pushed into said die-cutter blade. This type of device is characterized in that the die-cutter blade (18) is adjustably mounted in a frame (16), which can be inserted in a holding device (13) perpendicularly to the relative displacement direction (K) of the stacks to be cut (7) and die-cutter blades (18), and can be fixed in a central position. The holding device (13) is mounted in a die-cutter head plate (12), in such a way that it can be adjusted in relation to the latter. A die-cutter device of this type has an extremely compact construction, as a result of the positioning and mounting of the die-cutter blade in the direction of the relative movement of the stack to be cut and the die-cutter blade.
