Abstract
An elongated relatively rigid yet resilient tool compensating bar formed from rectangular bar stock with strategically placed slots to form three basic body members, namely a stationary body member, a lower body member, and an upper body member. The stationary body member is adapted to be secured in fixed position to a suitable support. The lower body member has side portions along opposite sides of the base member, being separated from the base member by a pair of slots and integrally connected to the base member by a flexure web or neck of the bar between said slots adjacent one end of the bar. This flexure web enables the lower body member to flex laterally relative to the stationary member. The upper body member is disposed over the stationary and lower body members and is separated therefrom by a third slot. Additional slots at opposite ends of the bar form flexure webs integrally connecting the upper body member to the lower body member and enabling the upper body member to flex relative to the lower body member in a direction lenthwise of the bar.
