Method of removing excess metal from casting with press, and cutter used therefore
A set of dies are composed in order to remove excess metal from a casting with a press. A method of removing the excess metal from the casting includes the steps of: attaching a cutter to one of the stationary die side or the movable die side; setting a work on the other side; and punching excess metal of the work into a recess shape by one punching motion of the movable die with a plurality of blades from the first blade, which is smaller, to the final blade, which is larger and protruded, when the excess metal of the work is removed by a punching motion of the movable die conducted on the stationary die.
1. A cutter for removing excess metal from a casting with a press, said cutter comprising:
plural rows of cutting blades progressively arranged in a step-wise increasing cutting portion depth size order of equal widths and having a change in form from a first cutting blade, smaller in size than a final shape of the excess metal to be removed, to a final cutting blade, a shape of the final cutting blade being a same shape as the final shape of the excess metal to be removed,
the plural rows of cutting blades, from the first cutting blade to the final cutting blade being arranged so that the first cutting blade used is ahead of all other cutting blades and the other cutting blades are used in an order of a single punching motion from the first cutting blade to the final cutting blade,
the cutting blades being formed from cutting blades divided into at least two right and left rows and the cutting blades being mounted to a cutter mounting base by bolts and pins so as to be replaceable,
a plurality of openings arranged vertically in the cutting blades,
said bolts and said pins extending into the openings in the cutting blades and into the cutter mounting base for removably positioning by the pins and removably attaching by the bolts, the cutting blades on the cutter mounting base.
2. The cutter according to claim 1 , wherein the bolts and the pins are aligned in a line.
3. The cutter according to claim 2 , wherein the pins are arranged between the bolts.
