<p>A clipping tool for clipping flash from a forged component is provided including a riser (20) having a support surface (22) for supporting the component (34); a punch (28) for gripping the component on the support surface such that the flash (36) projects laterally from the riser and the punch; and a tool body (24) having an aperture through which the riser and the punch are translatable to shear the projecting flash from the gripped component, the sheared flash being pushed by the tool body over an outer surface of the punch. The clipping tool further includes a controllably movable receptacle (46) which, when the punch is withdrawn from the aperture, is interposed between the punch and the riser; and a stripper element (30) which is actuatable to strip the sheared flash from the outer surface of the punch, said stripped flash being disposed by interposed receptacle.</p> |
