(under subclass 375) Device in which the clamp is slidably mounted on the tool or tool support by means including a guide which, after the clamp has been halted by engagement with the work, causes a change of direction of the tool movement from that in which both it and the clamp have been moved by the tool driving force.
(1) Note. Examples are found in draw-cutting machines, wherein inclined guide means between tool and clamp serve to force the tool away from its initial vertical downward motion after the clamp has settled firmly upon the work, thereby effecting a slicing or "draw cut".
