Alignment tool, cutting arrangement and method for treatment of a workpiece

Abstract

A method for treatment using a cutting arrangement includes providing a rotor blade of a wind turbine and attaching an alignment tool to the rotor blade. The alignment tool includes at least one fixation means for fixing the alignment tool to proximate a trailing edge of the rotor blade that is a structure attachable to a first surface and a second opposing surface of the rotor blade. The alignment tool further includes at least one guiding structure operably connected to the fixation means that is configured to embrace the leading edge of the rotor blade and includes at least one groove or at least one edge that provides guidance for a cutting edge of a cutting apparatus. The method includes treating the rotor blade using the cutting apparatus, in which the cutting edge of the cutting apparatus is guided by the at least one guiding structure of the alignment tool.
