Workholding
Cut-Off And Pulling Operation Performed By One Tool
The combination bar puller/cut-off tool for CNC from Somma Tool Company is built to reduce cycle times because there is no need to index between cut-off and pulling operations. A single screw adjustment allows the jaws to be set up and adjusted for the next job. One turn of the screw moves both jaws in or out exact
