A severing device for mechanically severing metal-containing 3D objects from a base plate of a 3D printing apparatus is provided. The severing device has at least one first machining unit firmly connectable to the 3D printing apparatus with at least one machining tool which has a working zone which encompasses at least part of an area of the base plate.

In various aspects, the diamond wire saw apparatus disclosed herein includes a frame formed in a U-shape from a first rail and a second rail secured to a base, the first rail and the second rail being parallel to one another and perpendicular to the base. Several pulleys are disposed about the frame, and a diamond wire is engaged with the several pulleys to be cycled about the several pulleys. Some of the several pulleys traverse portions of the frame in opposing directions to maintain a selected tension in the diamond wire as the diamond wire is advanced while being cycled to cut a workpiece releasably engaged with the frame. The first rail, the second rail, and the base are formed in sections to be sized to correspondingly size an interior region of the frame to accommodate a workpiece by selective inclusion of sections in the first rail, the second rail, and the base.

A substantial reduction in scrap produced by an interrupted process for the sawing of a workpiece into a multiplicity of wafers with a wire saw caused by wire breakage, is made possible by detecting the exact or approximate position of the wire break, repairing or replacing the sawing wire, and rethreading the sawing wire web into the saw kerfs, while excluding the kerf in which breakage occurred.

A device for cutting a mat or panel made of mineral wool or a board or panel made of porous construction material, including a system for moving the mat or panel made of mineral wool or the board or panel made of porous construction material, which includes at least one conveyor, capable of moving along a direction, an endless diamond element designed to cut the mat or panel made of mineral wool or the board or panel made of porous construction material, a device for running the endless diamond element in a direction perpendicular to the direction of movement of the mat or panel made of mineral wool or the board or panel made of porous construction material, the endless diamond element being an endless diamond wire, an endless diamond cable or an endless diamond strip.

A leg cutting system with a leg support clamp 2 with a height for maintaining a structural integrity of the leg 1 during and after the leg 1 is cut. The system includes at least two leg support clamp parts joined in at least one clamp structure joint 11 with releasable mechanical fasteners for joining or releasing the at least two leg support clamp parts along the at least one clamp structure joint. A wire saw 6 with a wire saw support frame 7 and longitudinal saw tracks 16 for longitudinal displacement of the sawing wire along said longitudinal saw tracks 16 can be fixed to the leg support clamp. A wire replacement unit 9 with a plurality of sawing wires with a joint allowing the wires to be joined is located adjacent the wire saw. The embodiment(s) furthermore relates to a leg support clamp.

A foldable miter saw and folding method of miter saw are disclosed. The foldable miter saw includes a base unit, a workable, and a cutting unit. The cutting unit includes a support arm pivotally mounted on the worktable, a saw blade, and a driver. The miter saw folding method includes the step of biasing the cutting unit relative to the base unit and the step of rotating the support arm relative to the base unit and the worktable to change the cutting unit from a working position to a folded position, thus reducing the vertical space occupied by the cutting unit and facilitating delivery, storage and package of the foldable miter saw.

A saw wire includes a metal wire containing rhenium-tungsten alloy. A rhenium content of the metal wire is at least 0.1 wt % and at most 10 wt % with respect to a total weight of rhenium and tungsten, an elastic modulus of the metal wire is at least 350 GPa and at most 450 GPa, a tensile strength of the metal wire is at least 3500 MPa, and a diameter of the metal wire is at most 60 m.

A cutting apparatus and the method of operating same is provided. The apparatus includes a feed tower assembly configured to be attached to an object and a frame base plate movably attached thereto. The frame base plate has a pivotable arm assembly and an arm wheel thereon which accept a cutting member. A visual tension indicator is operably connected to the frame base plate and the arm assembly and configured to indicate an amount of tension applied to the cutting member.

A linear saw, machining method using the same and numerical controlled machining device. The linear saw has: a machining part (1), for cutting a machining object in a linearly extending direction of the linear saw, and generating a slot on the machining object; and the linear saw further includes a space-keeping part (2) arranged such that the whole linear saw does not contact the slot or is not subject to an acting force of the slot when the space-keeping part passes through the slot. As the linear saw is provided with a space-keeping structure, the linear saw has time and space to recover from a deformation generated by cutting the machining object, thus effectively preventing accumulated errors, and greatly improving the position precision of the machining seam.
