A cutting and crimping apparatus (14) for automatically cutting and finishing the ends of a spiral coil. The apparatus (14) comprises a jaw set (17) comprising a first fixed plate (20), a second fixed plate (50), a cut plate (70) and a push plate (130), each plate having a tooth extending therefrom capable of engaging the coil. The plates are substantially flat and disposed in sliding contact with each other. The cut plate (70) of the apparatus (14) is driven in a reciprocating, substantially linear motion by a linkage (100) mechanically coupled to a motor (18).
