A worktable for tile cutter with water drainage assembly includes a movable platform and a pivotable guiding member. The movable platform has a drainage channel defined therein. The guiding member has a diversion channel defined therein and communicated with the drainage channel. The guiding member has a first diversion opening and a second diversion opening respectively located on two ends thereof. When the movable platform is in a first position, the first diversion opening is inclined downwards such that the diversion channel guides the water from the drainage channel through the first diversion opening to a water collection tank located under the movable platform. When the movable platform is in a second position, the second diversion opening is inclined downwards such that the diversion channel guides the water from the drainage channel to the water collection tank. Therefore, the draining worktable can provide a good drainage effect.

After a glass sheet (G) having a scribe line (S) formed thereon is placed on a placement table (10) and positioned so that the scribe line (S) is positioned in a bending stress applying portion (15) of the placement table (10), when the glass sheet (G) is split along the scribe line (S) by applying a bending stress to a formation region of the scribe line (S) by the bending stress applying portion (15), the glass sheet (G) is positioned by laying a resin sheet (9) under the glass sheet (G) on the placement table (10) and aligning one side (G1) of the glass sheet (G) extending in a direction along the scribe line (S) with marks (Ma to Nd) projected onto a protruding portion (9a) of the resin sheet (9) by laser markers (16a to 16d).

Provided is a method of manufacturing a glass sheet, which comprises a conveying step of conveying a glass sheet (G3) by holding an upper part of the glass sheet (G3) in a vertical posture. The conveying step comprises a first conveying step of conveying the glass sheet (G3) in a first direction along a direction perpendicular to a main surface of the glass sheet (G3), and a second conveying step of conveying the glass sheet (G3) in a second direction along a direction parallel to the main surface after the first conveying step. When a conveying direction of the glass sheet is changed from the first direction to the second direction, a lower part of the main surface (G3y) is supported by a roller (41) of a support portion (4) from a forward side in the conveying direction of the glass sheet (G3) conveyed in the first direction.

Machine (1) for processing slabs (L) comprising a device (14) for transporting the slabs (L) between two zones, at least one of which is a machining zone along a feeding direction (X), means (16, 17) for supporting and clamping the slabs during machining, said means being designed to clamp the slabs (L) in a machining position, at least one tool (4) for machining the slabs which is mounted on a spindle, the at least one tool (4) being operative in the machining zone. The machine (1) comprises means (50) for moving the transporting device (14), configured to move the transporting device (14) from a working position corresponding substantially to the position for machining the slabs (L) into a position spaced at least vertically from the working position, and vice versa; the transporting device (14) is a conveyor belt.

A cutting tool includes a base having a table surface. The table surface has a circular turntable and a cutting platform connected with respect to the circular turntable. The cutting platform is rotatable about an axis of the circular turntable. At least one connector releasably locks the cutting platform to the turntable at a number of positions about the axis. A blade housing and blade are suspended above the cutting platform. A handle is attached to the cutting tool to raise and lower the blade. The handle is rotatably supported by a cam integrated with the blade housing.

This invention relates to a mechanism for scoring and splitting tiles usable on manual tile cutter machines of the type preferred for cutting extra-thick tiles.

A tile saw gauge has a receiver, an extension arm, and a slidable gauge. In one embodiment, the slidable gauge has one or more protrusions for fixing various lengths. The receiver may be permanently attached to a tile saw, such as by welding, or may removably attachable, such as by using screws, a bolt and nut, or similar mechanism. The tile saw gauge may be retrofitted on saws in the art, allowing tile saws in the market to make consistent cuts on larger tiles or tile lengths.
