An apparatus for cutting slabs made of porcelain or like materials includes a support and blocking plane of at least a slab, and at least a cutting group of the slab, arranged superiorly thereof. The cutting group includes rotary tools associated with a carriage mobile along a parallel direction to the support plane; a component for moving the rotary tools independently of one another, in a perpendicular direction to the parallel direction, between two end positions, respectively an active neared position for working on the slab and a non-active distanced position, raised from the slab.

A fastening jig for securing a magnet block (M) when the magnet block is cutoff machined into pieces is provided, the jig comprising a lower clamp (31) on which the magnet block is rested, an upper clamp (32) disposed on the magnet block, and a press unit (33) for pressing the clamps to apply a pressing force to the magnet block. A portion of the lower clamp (31) which is disposed adjacent to the magnet block is provided with a generally horizontal channel (311) to define a resilient cantilever (312), whereby the magnet block is held between the clamps by the repulsion force of the cantilever (312).

A plurality of interposers are made from a material substrate. The material substrate includes a glass substrate partitioned by a plurality of crossing division lines to define a plurality of separate regions. A multilayer member is provided on a first surface or a second surface opposite to the first surface of the glass substrate and has an insulating layer and a wiring layer. An exposed surface of the multilayer member is cut along each division line by using a first cutting blade to form a cut groove on the exposed surface of the multilayer member, the cut groove having a depth not reaching the glass substrate. The glass substrate is cut along each cut groove by using a second cutting blade having a thickness smaller than the width of each cut groove to thereby divide the glass substrate and manufacture the plural interposers.

A first glass substrate and a second glass substrate which are placed to face each other with a seal member in-between are bonded to each other with the seal member. Subsequently, the first glass substrate, the seal member, and the second glass substrate are cut collectively along a cut plane passing through the seal member from one of the first glass substrate and the second glass substrate bonded to each other. Thereby, a glass panel unit is manufactured.

An apparatus for severing a workpiece having a cutting mechanism operable to cut the workpiece substantially along a selected course; drive mechanism operable to drive the cutting mechanism to cut the workpiece; a transport assembly operable to guide the workpiece in movement relative to a predetermined severing position and with respect to the cutting mechanism; and a frame mounting the cutting mechanism and transport assembly in predetermined relation to each other and relative to the severing position so that the drive mechanism is operable to drive the cutting mechanism to cut the workpiece in the severing position.
