Abstract
A bolt support member for use in cutting lock bolts of security containers. The bolt support member has a hook-shaped portion at one end for engaging a lock bolt, and threaded portion at another end. The hook-shaped portion is inserted into a hole in the container near the lock bolt and is clamped between the lock bolt and the surface of the container by a pair of knobs positioned on the threaded portion of the bolt support member. The bolt support member constrains the lock bolt from bending under cutting pressure and thus prevents binding against the cutter.
