Wedge-action cutting <strong>of</strong> workpieces is generally performed using a<br />

wedge-shaped cutting edge. The workpiece is divided between the blade<br />

and a supporting surface. Bite cutting is a method used to divide a<br />

workpiece using two wedge-shaped blades moving towards each other.<br />

This cutting method is employed by cutting nippers or bolt cutters<br />

(Fig. 2.1.31).<br />

The processes tearingand breakingsubject the workpiece either to tensile<br />

stress or bending or rotary stress beyond its ultimate breaking or<br />

tensile strength.<br />
