Abstract
An apparatus for cutting into a cylindrical munition, comprising a cutting head and a mechanism for moving the cutting head relative to the surface of the munition. The mechanism for moving the cutting head constrains the cutting head to follow a linear path in one direction, to be positioned in use parallel to the axis of the munition, and an arcuate path in the plane normal to the first direction to follow the contour of the munition.
