Accessories for Secondary Metalworking Machinery

NATO Supply Class 3461 refers to the category of Accessories for Secondary Metalworking Machinery within NATO Supply Group 34, which is dedicated to Metalworking Machinery.

Accessories for Secondary Metalworking Machinery are additional components or tools that are used in conjunction with secondary metalworking machinery. Secondary metalworking machinery refers to machines that are used for processes such as cutting, shaping, or finishing metal products.

Examples of accessories in this class may include:

1. Cutting tools: These can include blades, drills, or milling cutters that are used for cutting or shaping metal materials.

2. Clamping devices: These are used to securely hold the metalwork piece in place during the secondary metalworking process.

3. Fixtures and jigs: These are specialized tools or devices that help in positioning and holding the metalwork piece in a specific orientation during the secondary metalworking process.

4. Tool holders: These are used to securely hold cutting tools in place on the secondary metalworking machinery.

5. Lubrication systems: These are used to provide lubrication to the metalwork piece or the cutting tools during the secondary metalworking process, ensuring smooth operation and reducing friction.

6. Safety guards: These are protective devices that are installed on the secondary metalworking machinery to ensure the safety of the operator and prevent accidents.

It is important to note that NATO Supply Class 3461 specifically focuses on accessories for secondary metalworking machinery, which are used in addition to the primary machinery. These accessories play a crucial role in enhancing the efficiency, precision, and safety of the metalworking process.

By categorizing these accessories under NATO Supply Class 3461, it becomes easier for NATO member countries to identify, classify, and procure the necessary equipment for their metalworking operations.
