Machine supporting rock cutting device

A machine for excavating rock, the machine comprising:

• a chassis including at least one traction drive device;
• a boom supported by the chassis;
• a cutting device supported by the boom, the cutting device including a cutting disc having a cutting edge, the cutting disc rotatable about a cutting device axis;
• a first stabilizer for supporting the chassis relative to a mine surface, the first stabilizer including a first pad, a first actuator, and a first support member, the first pad configured to engage the mine surface, the first actuator including a first end coupled to the chassis and a second end coupled to the first pad, the first support member including a first end coupled to the chassis and a second end coupled to at least one of the first pad and the first actuator;
• a second stabilizer for supporting the chassis relative to the mine surface and operable independent of the first stabilizer, the second stabilizer including a second pad, a second actuator, and a second support member, the second pad configured to engage the mine surface, the second actuator including a first end coupled to the chassis and a second end coupled to the second pad, the second support member including a first end coupled to the chassis and a second end coupled to at least one of the second pad and the second actuator;
• and
• a cross-member coupled between the first stabilizer and the second stabilizer.
