DEFINITION

Classification: 83/717

(under subclass 713) Device, including means to regulate or limit the distance that the work is moved perpendicularly toward the cutting plane.

(1) Note. Such means can comprise (a) baffle structure on the side of the cutting plane opposite the transverse work moving means so as to provide a work-stop abutment, (b) mechanical means (e.g., ratchet, screw) associated with the work moving means so as to regulate the distance the work is moved toward the cutting plane for each cutting cycle.

(2) Note. Devices relying on gravity as being the sole means for moving the work perpendicularly toward the cutting plane are found in this subclass (717).
