Abstract
An interposing member is interposed between a base part of the fence plate and a top plate part of a base, and a position of the fence plate is changed on the interposing member. Because of this, deflection etc. of the top plate can be reduced and variation of an operating angle of an operating lever can be reduced when fixing the fence plate to the base.
Claims6
A cutting device for metal machining, comprising a base on which a material to be cut is placed, the base having first and second engaging holes and a front rear direction, a tool main body that is vertically movable and supported by the base, and a fence that is provided on a top plate part of the base and has a fence base part and a fence surface on a front side of the base for contacting the material to be cut and positioning the material on the top plate part, wherein:
- the fence is configured to be fixed with respect to the base via an interposing member that is interposed between the base and the fence;
- the interposing member is configured to be fixed with respect to the base by a first fixing member and the fence is configured to be fixed with respect to the interposing member by a second fixing member, whereby the fence is indirectly fixed with respect to the base;
- a direction of the fence surface is configured to be changed by rotating the interposing member around a rotation axis that is situated on the fence base part at an opposite side to the material to be cut;
- the interposing member comprises a first insert hole and a second insert hole;
- the fence base part comprises a insert hole and an arcuate guide slot;
- the first fixing member engages the first insert hole of the interposing member, the insert hole of the fence base part, and one of the engaging holes;
- the second fixing member engages the second insert hole of the interposing member, the arcuate slot of the fence base part, and the other engaging hole;
- the rotation axis is on the first fixing member;
- each engaging hole comprises a longitudinal groove hole extending in the front rear direction and a plurality of transverse groove holes intersecting the longitudinal hole.
