ABSTRACT:
A dispenser unit for use with a cutting machine for cutting metal parts from metal workpieces. The cutting machine has a main beam movable in a first direction which carries at least one cutting torch which is movable along the beam in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction. A cutting table with a planar cutting surface is located below the main beam. The dispenser unit carries a plurality of individual point support members for supporting workpieces to be cut on the cutting table. The dispenser unit includes an elongated tube with an open lower end which is mounted on the main beam for movement along the beam in the second direction. The tube has retractable pins located adjacent the open lower end for selectively depositing individual point support members from the tube onto the cutting surface of the cutting table so that the individual point support members are positioned on the cutting surface of the cutting table to support workpieces according to the size and shape of metal parts to be cut from the workpieces.
