Cutting subassembly

A cutting subassembly for machines by means of which a workpiece is machined in order for edge-material overhangs projecting beyond at least the front or rear transverse sides of the workpiece to be cut off, said transverse sides of the workpiece being oriented substantially transversely to a movement direction of the workpiece, which cutting subassembly is provided on longitudinal sides of the workpiece, said longitudinal sides running parallel to the movement direction, said cutting subassembly comprising:

• a saw unit which comprises a motor-driven saw blade being mounted for displacement between a position above the workpiece and a position beneath the workpiece;
• a contact element associated with the saw blade and having at least one contact surface for engaging against a front or rear transverse side of the workpiece;
• wherein:
• the saw blade is mounted such that it can be pivoted between a first operating position, in which a cutting plane of the saw blade is oriented in alignment with the contact surface, and a second operating position, in which the cutting plane of the saw blade is oriented obliquely in relation to the contact surface;
• the cutting subassembly comprising adjustable stops for orienting the saw blade in its first, aligned operating position and its second, obliquely oriented operating position;
• the cutting subassembly comprises a guide element which is displaceable parallel to the movement direction of the workpiece to provide for displacing the saw unit relative to the contact element;
• and
• the saw unit is mounted on the guide element such that it can be pivoted about a vertical pivot axis.

• the cutting subassembly comprising adjustable stops for orienting the saw blade in its first, aligned operating position and its second, obliquely oriented operating position;
• and
• the stops are each associated with at least one spring element in order to decelerate a displacement movement of the saw unit as the saw unit approaches each of said stops.
