Work machine

Abstract

Provided is a work machine with improved operatability. In a cutting tool, a guard member that is made of metal is provided inside a chip discharge passage section, and a bottom wall of the chip discharge passage section on a saw blade side is covered by the guard member. In other words, a bottom surface of the chip discharge passage section is guarded by the guard member that is made of metal. Accordingly, the guard member can prevent high-temperature metal chips from coming into direct contact with the bottom wall of the chip discharge passage section. Thus, deformation of the chip discharge passage section when chips pass through the chip discharge passage section can be suppressed. Consequently, the durability of a saw cover can be increased, and the operatability of the cutting tool can be improved.
