Abstract: A shaping or cutting device for accurately and incrementally shaping the arcuate edges of the teeth of packing segments used as seals between turbine stage diaphragms. The device assures that the reshaped packing teeth provide uniform clearance by the seals between stage diaphragms thereby maintaining efficiency between the higher to lower pressure stages of the turbine. The device includes a positioning jig to hold the packing segments. A pivoting cutting tool is itself vertically and horizontally positionable relative to the jig. By relatively positioning the jig and cutting tool, cutting can be incrementally adjusted to uniformly shape each arcuate edge of packing teeth.
