Abstract: The chiseling or trimming machine serves primarily to deburr welding seams from frames welded together of profiled plastic parts, such as are used for facades, doors and windows. The machine has a bearing surface on which the workpiece to be machined is placed against a stop angle and held firmly by means of holder cylinders. Furthermore the machine has a workpiece carrier displaceable with a transport device, and the tool holder supporting the chiseling or trimming die is supported on the tool carrier such that it yields in the upward direction in response to pressure. The bench machine is embodied as a hand-operated machine such that the bearing surfaces as well as at least one handle are disposed on an upper crosspiece of the tool carrier with its transport device, and that this crosspiece is connected by means of two rods with a lower crosspiece disposed parallel to the upper bearing surface.
