Magnet cutting device

A cutting device for a magnet, the device comprising:

• a pair of supporting portions spaced apart by a predetermined distance, the pair of the supporting portions being configured to support the magnet from a bottom side of the magnet;
• a pressing portion configured to press the magnet from an upper side of the magnet;
• a blade configured to press downwardly on the upper side of the magnet to cut the magnet by three-point bending by the pair of supporting portions and the blade;
• and
• a magnet supporting tool arranged adjacently between the pair of the supporting portions, configured to vertically move, and having an upper surface including a central part configured to be in contact with the magnet from the bottom side and a peripheral end, the peripheral end configured not to be in contact with the magnet,
• wherein:
• the pair of the supporting portions respectively have top surfaces configured to support the magnet from the bottom side when the pressing portion presses the magnet,
• the magnet supporting tool is further configured to cause, in a state where the pressing portion does not press the magnet, the central part to be located at a position higher than the top surfaces while causing the peripheral end to be located at a position lower than the top surfaces, and
• the upper surface of the magnet supporting tool comprises a slope connecting the central part and the peripheral end.
