Tile cutting machine and abutting device thereof

An abutting device is adapted to be mounted to a tile cutting machine, the tile cutting machine including a table that is slidable along an axis extending in a sliding direction, and a cutting unit that is operable for cutting a tile, the table having two side surfaces that are spaced apart in a widthwise direction substantially perpendicular to the sliding direction, a load surface that is connected to the side surfaces for supporting the tile, and first and second end surfaces that are spaced apart in the sliding direction and that are connected between the side surfaces, said abutting device comprising:

• an abutting member that is adapted to be removably mounted to the table, and that has
• a first limiting surface,
• a second limiting surface substantially perpendicular to said first limiting surface,
• a first abutting surface substantially parallel to said first limiting surface, and
• a second abutting surface connected to said first abutting surface and inclined relative to said first abutting surface by an angle, said angle being not greater than 90 degrees;
• and
• a fixing unit that is adapted for securing said abutting member to the table;
• wherein said abutting member is movable between a first working position and a second working position;
• wherein, when said abutting member is in the first working position, said abutting member extends in the widthwise direction, said first abutting surface is adapted to abut against the first end surface of the table, and said first limiting surface is adapted to be substantially perpendicular to the load surface of the table;
• and
• wherein, when said abutting member is in the second working position, said abutting member extends in the sliding direction, said second abutting surface is adapted to abut against said second end surface of the table, and said second limiting surface is adapted to be substantially perpendicular to the load surface of the table.
