Abstract
There is described a cutting device for fabric and similar material which comprises a cutting table on the surface of which a material support is mounted; a cutting tool which is moveable over the table to penetrate and cut material lying on the support; and a control arrangement which measures the distance to the table surface under the support and thereby controls the depth of cutting tool penetration so that it extends a predetermined distance into the support, independently of applied pressure on the cutting tool.
