A hold-down device (4) for machines on which material blocks (11) made of soft material are processed or machined, preferably for foam contour-cutting machines, with hold-down plates (6 to 10) that are parallel to and can be adjusted vertically relative to a table (2), the cutting machine comprising for a cutting tool (12) at least one center support (13) for the cutting tool (12) that is held on two rails of a machine frame (1), that can be variably adjusted to the width of the material block (11), and that is supposed to be further developed such that, despite an optimally sized contact surface, a quick, automatic change of the blocks with a corresponding transverse displacement of the center supports is guaranteed. To achieve this, the invention proposes that the hold-down device (4) comprises support elements that are vertically adjustably mounted on the rails, that the support elements carry a hold-down frame (5), that the hold-down plates (6 to 10) are guided longitudinally displaceably in the hold-down-frame (5), and that the hold-down plates (6 to 10) at least in the region of the center support (13) are spaced apart by a gap (14) that exceeds the width of the center support (13) so as to accommodate the center support (13) between the plates (FIG. 1).
