A metal plate shearing apparatus, a control method thereof, and a metal plate shearing method are disclosed. The metal plate shearing apparatus includes a lower pad, an upper pad installed on the lower pad to ascend and descend and configured to press and fix an upper surface of a metal plate of a cut target placed on the lower pad, a shear blade installed adjacent to one side surface of the upper pad to ascend and descend and configured to shear a cutting line of the metal plate by descending, and a heating device configured to locally heat the cutting line of the metal plate.

There is provided a cutting method for cutting a workpiece using a cutting tool comprising a die and a punch, including: arranging the workpiece between the die and the punch, and in a state in which a wedge-shaped first cutting part of the die and a wedge-shaped second cutting part of the punch are opposed, pushing the punch relatively to the die side to cut the workpiece; wherein: a front end angle θ.sub.1 of the first cutting part and a front end angle θ.sub.2 of the second cutting part are each 100 or more and 1200 or less, and a front end radius R.sub.1 of the first cutting part and a front end radius R.sub.2 of the second cutting part are each 0.5% or more and 35.0% or less of a sheet thickness.

An oilfield band cutter is useful for removing a band from a tubing string structure as the tubing string structure is being pulled up from the well. The oilfield band cutter includes a base frame with a central hole, an axis extending vertically and centrally through the frame coaxial with the central hole. A tubing follower member is coupled to the base frame and is positioned against an outer surface of the tubing string structure. A cutter is coupled to the tubing follower member, the cutter including an underside having a cutting edge. The cutting edge is positioned to engage against and cut bands on the tubing string structure.

The present disclosure relates to an apparatus for cutting substrate material, the apparatus including: a mounting frame; a base mounted to the mounting frame; an upper cutter device disposed on the mounting frame; and a substrate material clamp disposed on the upper cutter device and used to clamp substrate material, the substrate material clamp including a clamp body and a flattening member connected to the clamp body, and the flattening member being used to flatten the substrate material. In the above technical solution, the flattening member is provided on the lower surface of the substrate material clamp, and during the process that the substrate material clamp approaches the base, the flattening member flattens the curled substrate material, and thus the quality of the substrate material is improved.

A tube cutter includes a handle, a carrier, a circular knife, a knob, a threaded rod and a spring. The handle includes an aperture. The carrier is movably connected to the handle, and includes a screw hole. The circular knife is supported on the carrier. The knob is rotationally connected to the handle and includes a non-circular recess. The threaded rod includes a threaded section inserted in the screw hole, a shank inserted in the aperture, and a non-circular head inserted in the non-circular recess. The spring is compressed between the handle and the non-circular head to render the threaded rod smoothly movable relative to the handle.

A continuous strip of T-Nuts formed on a common strip of metal. Each T-Nut of the strip of T-Nuts is integrally connected to the next adjacent T-Nut by carry tabs. The carry tabs can be frangible themselves or contain a frangible portion. Each T-Nut includes a cylindrical bore therein and a threaded interior. A mechanism feeds and severs the endmost T-Nut in endwise fashion. The mechanism to feed and sever the endmost T-Nut includes a cutting blade positioned vertically below the frangible portion of the carry tab. A shearing ram having a guide positioned axially in line with the cylindrical bore in the endmost T-Nut is adapted to move vertically from an upper to a lower position to engage the cutting blade with the frangible portion and sever the endmost T-Nut.
