DEFINITION

Classification: 83/378

(under subclass 375) Device including means to deliver incremental clamping force in proportion to incremental resistance exerted by the work against the tool, so that the clamping force (additional to a predetermined force; e.g., the weight of the clamp) is proportional to the resistance which the tool meets in its working stroke.

376+, for many disclosures wherein the clamp takes some of the reaction of the tool force, in order to deflect the tool into an oblique, draw-cutting direction.
