A cut length indicating device for a portable machine tool includes at least one indication unit. The indication unit has at least one movably mounted indication element that is configured to indicate at least one position of a cutting edge of a machining tool on a work piece to be machined with reference to a set cutting depth of the machining tool. The indication element further has a cutting edge indication line, which runs at least substantially transversely to a movement plane of the indication element in order to indicate the position of the cutting edge in at least one operating state.

A device for limiting the depth of a cut, which is to be used in portable machine tools, includes at least one cut-depth guide unit, and at least one stop unit that has at least one stop element. The stop element has, for the purpose of limiting the depth of a cut, a movement potential relative to the cut-depth guide unit along a cut-depth guide track of the cut-depth guide unit. The cut-depth limiting device further includes at least one stop movement unit which is configured to allow the stop element a further movement potential relative to the cut-depth guide unit, at least one of along and about an axis of movement, at least when in a state of operation.
