Abstract
A cutting machine includes a base having an abutment surface, a cutting machine body and at least one tilt support part that supports the cutting machine body such that the cutting machine body can be tilted relative to the base around a first axis. The at least one tilt support part includes a tilt plate fixed to the cutting machine body, an angular plate arranged to face the tilt plate and fixed to the base, and a link arm configured to connect the tilt plate and the angular plate. When the cutting machine body is tilted, the tilt plate tilts together with the cutting machine body, and facing surfaces of the tilt plate and the angular plate slide in contact with each other, and the link arm tilts around a second axis parallel to the first axis in interlocking with tilting of the cutting machine body.
Claims18
A cutting machine, comprising:
- a base having an abutment surface for abutment with a workpiece;
- a cutting machine body that includes an electric motor configured to provide a rotational driving force to a blade and is arranged on a second side relative to the abutment surface of the base;
- and
- at least one tilt support part that supports the cutting machine body such that the cutting machine body can be tilted relative to the base around a first axis,
- wherein the at least one tilt support part includes:
- a tilt plate that protrudes to the second side relative to the base and is fixed to the cutting machine body,
- an angular plate that protrudes to the second side relative to the base and is arranged to face the tilt plate in a direction parallel to the first axis and fixed to the base, and
- a link arm configured to connect the tilt plate and the angular plate, and
- wherein the cutting machine is configured such that when the cutting machine body is tilted:
- the tilt plate tilts together with the cutting machine body, and facing surfaces of the tilt plate and the angular plate slide in contact with each other, and
- the link arm tilts around a second axis parallel to the first axis in interlocking with tilting of the cutting machine body, and
- wherein the link arm is arranged between the tilt plate and the angular plate.
