During maintenance on the folding cylinder it is often difficult to hold the cylinder from rotating, especially after a segment has been removed and the cylinder is off balance. This tool bolts into existing holes and acts as a surface clamp to prevent the cylinder from moving.
Note the roll pin on the back side. This aligns the tool and prevents it from swiveling once it is in place.
The two holes in the folder side frame were existing on the front folder in PA. The threaded hole was existing on the back folder but the hole for the roll pin had to be drilled.
