Abstract
A manual ceramic cutter with an adjustable set-square, having a set-square (1) installed at one of the longitudinal extremities of a base (2) for supporting the ceramic items to be cut, and a manually-operated cutting head (3) installed with the possibility of displacement along a number of longitudinal guides (4). This cutter comprises adjustment means (13, 14) of the perpendicularity of the set-square (1) with regard to a cutting line (L1) of the cutter, and fixing means (11, 12) of the set-square (1) to the base (2). It further comprises visual verification means of the perpendicularity of the set-square (1) with regard to the cutting line (L1).
Claims4
A manual ceramic cutter, comprising:
- a set-square installed on a longitudinal extremity of a base configured to support ceramic items to be cut, and defining a lateral supporting line for the ceramic item to be cut;
- a manually-operated cutting head displaceable along a number of longitudinal guides;
- an adjustment device configured to adjust perpendicularity of the set-square with respect to a cutting line of the cutter;
- and
- a fixing device configured to fix the set-square to the base;
- wherein the adjustment device comprises an elastic element that acts on the set-square to rotate it on the set-square on a rotation axis towards a side of the base, and a manual adaptation screw configured to rotate the set-square on the rotation axis in an opposite direction to the action of the elastic element;
- wherein the rotation axis is a lateral rotation axis of the set-square with respect to the base.
