Abstract
The invention relates to a machine for cutting tiles and comprising: a cutting member; a main abutment face of the stand suitable for coming into abutment against one of the sides of the tile; and a support mounted to slide perpendicularly to the cutting axis and supporting a first arm having a first face parallel to the cutting axis and suitable for bearing against the tile to be cut. A second arm is pivotally mounted on the first arm and includes a second bearing face for bearing against a tile to be cut, one of the two arms carrying an angular scale enabling the angle between the second face and the first face to be adjusted, and a device serves to lock relative pivoting between the two arms. The resulting tile cutting machine is versatile.
