Abstract

Apparatus for forming welding electrode chips in which the cutters engage the electrode chips to be formed while the electrode chips remain installed in the welding unit. The cutters are elastically supported to accommodate movement of the electrode chips against the cutters. Movement of the electrode chips is limited by a rigid support. The cutters are rotated manually or by a motor-drive.
