"The Kid" took a 2500 part job for my CHNC. We're one short on tooling spots in the turret.
So, I'm designing a custom bar puller finger thing that will bolt on the cutoff tool holder. (You always pull right after cutoff - saves an index)
The metal needs to spring so it slides on the bar and holds it. Not too rigid or it will just push the bar in the tight collet. Not too flexible or it won't hold after you release the collet.
I realize this is mostly a design issue with how thick and long the fingers should be. We'll learn here by trial and error.
What would be a good material choice?
