Abstract
A work holding device used in an external form cutting machine for printed boards, the cutting machine including a work mounting table movable in X direction and a cutter mounting spindle movable in Y direction perpendicular to X direction, comprising holding device disposed above the table, pushing device for pushing said holding device, elevating device for raising and lowering said holding device. The holding device and the elevating device engage with each other slidably in a vertical direction with the pushing device interposed therebetween. By virtue of these arrangements, the printed boards are surely holded, resulting in an uniform cutting surface of piled printed boards. Holding pins used in prior arts for holding printed boards are not required, resulting in an improved operational efficiency of the cutting machine.
