Abstract: A cutoff die set for cutting tubing that comprises an upper die section having a cutoff blade, the upper die section being movable in translational reciprocating motion. The cutoff die set also comprises a lower die section having a first jaw guide section and a second jaw guide section. The first jaw guide section and second jaw guide section are operable with each other to secure the tubing during cutting. The lower die section further comprises a scarfing blade. The scarfing blade is operably linked with the upper die section such that movement by the upper die section causes the scarfing blade to move in translational motion to remove a substantially flat surface of the tubing and form an opening. The cutoff blade enters the opening to cut the tubing.

Abstract: A lightweight, collapsible, easily transported apparatus for checking the geometry of a vehicle's frame and axles. The apparatus comprises a pointer bar assembly for use as a trammel and for checking toe measurements of steering axle tires, and an adjustable square bar assembly for providing a reference line perpendicular to a vehicle's frame. In its preferred embodiment, the apparatus is especially well suited for checking the frame and axle alignment of tractors with two or more drive axles, and trailers having two or more axles.

Abstract: A collapsible apparatus for scribing a line on the circumferential surface of a cylindrical body as the cylindrical body is rotated about its axis. The apparatus may also be used to provide a reference point for checking the radial and lateral runout of the cylindrical body as it rotates about its axis.
