Abstract
An axial discharge apparatus for use with a drawbench or an extrusion press includes a plurality of shiftable forks aligned for reception of drawn or extruded stock and a plurality of powered rollers disposed therebelow. The forks receive one or more lengths of drawn or extruded stock subsequent to the completion of forming and, in unison, lower them to the rollers. Rotation of the rollers conveys the formed stock axially out one end of the drawbench.
