Punching tool for cutting thin wooden strip - has blades enclosing resilient pads with peripheral serrated cutting edges forced into strip

摘要

A tool for making cuts in very thin strips of wood is used to punch the wood, so that complicated cut outs can be removed in a single short operation. The perimeter can be cut at the same time. The tool (1) can consist of vertical inner and outer blades (3) joined together, a plate (4) across the top. The peripheral cutting edges (5) of the blades can be serrated. Resilient pads (8a, 8b) are housed under the top plate (4), projecting (d) from the bottom of the blade. These pads are then compressed when the blades are forced down until the teeth dig into the wood strip (10) and cut the required shape.
