摘要

An elongated member is initially straightened and reduced in cross section by continuously feeding the member in a longitudinal path first through an elongated guide mechanism and then a drawing die attached to the output end of the guide mechanism. Positioned along and in approximate axial alignment with the longitudinal path of the elongated member is a cutting device positioned in close proximity to the output end of the drawing die so as to immediately strip chips of minute thickness from the surface of the straightened and reduced elongated member as it passes from the drawing die into the cutting device. The accumulation of the minute chips generated during stripping is limited by a clearing mechanism positioned in close proximity to the input end of the cutting device and adapted to rotate thereabout so as to continuously pulverize the chip accumulations beyond a predetermined distance from elongated member.
