Abstract
An improved method and apparatus for the production of multiple gauge metal strip is disclosed wherein the metal strip is drawn over an arced surface under a shaving tool apparatus whereby the arced surface provides effective hold-down of the metal strip thereby allowing a greater volume removal of material per pass. The present invention contemplates an improved apparatus for holding the shaving tool's position with respect to the arced surface and the strip.
Claims9
A method for the production of a multiple gauge metal strip having at least two longitudinal regions of different thicknesses forming a generally stepped surface, said method comprising providing shaving means having an elongated cutting edge and anvil means having an arced surface, adjusting and maintaining said shaving means at a position opposed to and spaced from said anvil means to form a shaving gap, said adjusting and maintaining step including fastening said shaving means to an assembly comprising a horizontal member and vertical legs attached thereto, seating said assembly on gauge blocks of selected height, maintaining the assembly at the desired shaving gap by the application of downward pressure on said assembly and drawing a metal strip through said gap in contact with said shaving means and said arced surface, thereby shaving said strip to form a multiple gauge metal strip product.
