Abstract
A tool for holding a blade blank ( ) comprises a frame ( ) in which a control system using clamping jaws ( ) and lifters ( ) grips the blade and holds it in position vertically on two supporting faces ( ), while the blade has been laid on three lateral faces ( ). The blade is thus simultaneously held in a precise position and gripped sufficiently tightly, with a single control main mechanism. The mounting of the blade is thus greatly simplified and it may be subjected without further precaution to a manufacturing operation such as welding by friction to a rotor disk.
