A cutting machine having a first wheel pair and an opposite second wheel pair, an first vertical wheel, an opposite second vertical wheel, a first drive wheel, a second opposite drive wheel, and a single cutting blade, the first vertical and the second vertical wheels being configured to travel simultaneously and in a same horizontal direction, the first and the second wheel pairs being configured to travel simultaneously and in a same vertical direction, the first wheel pair having a first slanted wheel and the second wheel pair having a second slanted wheel, the single cutting blade being routed over all wheels such that at any moment during a travel of the single cutting blade while driven by the first and second drive wheels, a vertical blade portion extends between and can travel horizontally with the first vertical wheel and the second vertical wheel during vertical cutting and a horizontal blade portion extends between and can travel vertically with the first and second wheel pairs during horizontal cutting, wherein the slant of the first slanted wheel and the slant of the second slanted wheel prevents intersection of the horizontal blade portion and the vertical blade portion.
A cutting machine comprising a frame having an upper, a lower, a left and a right edge;
A cutting machine having a left, a right, a lower and an upper side and comprising a single blade configured to cut vertically and horizontally, the single blade being a band knife and being routed on a first drive wheel, a first upper vertical wheel, a second lower vertical wheel, a second drive wheel, a right wheel pair comprising a slanted upper right wheel and a lower right wheel, a left wheel pair comprising an upper left wheel and a slanted lower left wheel, the two wheels in each of the left and right wheel pairs being configured to cooperate in order to transfer the band knife between horizontal and vertical planes, such that a sharp edge of the band knife is always pointed towards a vertical and a horizontal direction of cutting;
A cutting machine comprising a first wheel pair and an opposite second wheel pair, an first vertical wheel, an opposite second vertical wheel, a first drive wheel, a second opposite drive wheel, and a single cutting blade, wherein the single cutting blade is a band knife, the first wheel pair having a first slanted wheel and the second wheel pair having a second slanted wheel, the single cutting blade being routed over all wheels such that at any moment during a travel of the single cutting blade while driven by the first and second drive wheels, a vertical blade portion extends between the first vertical wheel and the second vertical wheel and a horizontal blade portion extends between the first and second wheel pairs, wherein the slant of the first slanted wheel and the slant of the second slanted wheel prevents intersection of the horizontal blade portion and the vertical blade portion, the vertical blade portion together with the first vertical and the second vertical wheels being configured to travel simultaneously and in a same horizontal direction while a block of material advances through the cutting machine, thus allowing for vertical contour cutting by the vertical portion of the single cutting blade;
