Abstract

A cutting device for breaking fragile materials is constructed to include a lifting mechanism adapted to move the cutter vertically, a rotary table adapted to control the cutting angle of the cutter on the workpiece, a feed mechanism adapted to control the federate of the cutter, and a rotary mechanism adapted to rotate the cutter for enabling the cutter to cut the workpiece with one of multiple cutting points thereof selectively.
