Abstract
A fine adjuster for finely adjusting the lateral tilt position of a cutting machine body has improved operability. A cutting machine includes a table, a cutting machine body, a tilting member supporting the cutting machine body in a manner laterally tiltable relative to the table, a tilting locking member, and a lever member to adjust the tilt position of the cutting machine body. The lever member includes a fulcrum coupled to the table in a manner rotatable about an axis, a load point coupled to the tilting member, and an effort point extending from the fulcrum and located at a distance from the fulcrum greater than a distance between the fulcrum and the load point.
Claims20
A cutting machine, comprising:
- a table on which a workpiece is placeable;
- a cutting machine body vertically movable relative to the table;
- a tilting member supporting the cutting machine body in a manner laterally tiltable relative to the table;
- a tilting locking member configured to lock the cutting machine body at a tilt position in an unlockable manner;
- and
- a lever member operable to adjust the tilt position of the cutting machine body in an unlocked state of the tilting locking member, the lever member including
- a fulcrum directly or indirectly coupled to the table in a manner rotatable about an axis,
- a load point coupled to the tilting member, and
- an effort point extending from the fulcrum and located at a distance from the fulcrum greater than a distance between the fulcrum and the load point.
