Using a Bridgeport Slotting Head as a nibbler ???

<< < (2/4) > >>

Mark Rand:
The stripper plate can be mounted on the tool with a die spring to propel it. If the "stripper plate" is thick enough, the tool can always be in stripper plate's hole, so self aligning.


I knew there was a reason to get a slotting head for the mill. :clap:

mattinker:
Your using it like a slotter which it is, the plate needs to be bolted down which could be done in such a way as to act like a stripper.

BillTodd:
Nice :)

how about making a nibbler type tool? one with a stepped profile so it controls the size of the bite .

Thanks for the details! Keep documenting the progress.
Bill's comment is important. If you want to be able to do 'off-hand' nibbling, you will need to controll the step distance.
Cheers,
Joe

Hi Andrew,
I have a desoutter air nibbler in which the blade is C shaped in section and reciprocates up and down a guide rod which is inside the C. as you feed in the metal, when the blade goes up, the edge of the metal hits the guide rod, and as it comes down it removes a crescent moon shapet cutting from the sheet, the metal then can move in the distance equal to the thickness of the blade for the next cut. Does that make any sense to you, and will that be any help?
Phil.
