Abstract
A cutting machine for separating workpieces includes a cutting unit which is mounted above a workpiece to traverse the width of the workpiece and cut therethrough. The mounting means includes rails disposed over and across the workpiece over which the cutting unit travels and a workpiece clamping mechanism for securing the cutting unit to a fixed position along the length of the workpiece. The clamping mechanism includes a pair of opposed levers for movement into and out of engaging contact with the workpiece. In accordance with the invention adjustable stop means are provided to limit the movement of the clamping levers away from the workpiece so as to minimize the movement later required for re-engagement with the workpiece.
