Hi All:
I tried a new slug clamp design on the wire for cutting male parts from a stack.
It worked really well, so I thought I'd share.
It's pretty simple, a glorified C clamp that can reach in around the waste stock and between the upper and lower head and has a split pad on one side, each half of which can be adjusted separately.
Attached is a picture with it clamped on a bunch of parts that were held in the stack by a tab while the stack was roughed and skimmed.
At cutoff time, the clamp was slid in with the upper head down so it still cleared when the clamp was placed.
The back screw was tightened, then the head was raised and the jaw screw was tightened too.
The head was dropped back down and the parts were cut off the tabs.
Cheers
Marcus
