Priddy i ‘ABSTRACT ‘A first base supporting a lower blade is reciprocated horizontally by rotation ofa frst motor in one direction only. second base supporting supporting an upper blade is reciprocated vertically by rotation of a second ‘motor in one direction only. A signal corresponding to the movement of said work, preset length data and a signal corresponding to the rotation of said first motor are fed to fist base numerical control means, and the first base is controlled during forward run of the fist base by the first base numerical control means such a to follow the running of the work with the work projected by the preset length from the frst base. A signal corre- sponding to the movement of the work or a signal cor- responding t0 the rotation of the first motor, a signal corresponding to the rotation of the second motor and preset length or preset angle data are fed to the second ‘base numerical contro! means, and the second motor is controlled by the second base numerical control means with the first base following the running of the work. ‘Through the above control, the work is cu to the preset length by an upper blade supported by the second base and a lower blade, 12 Chaims, 11 Drawing SheetsUS.
