Machine (M) for
cutting and
processing panels (P) made of wood, plastic, or fiberglass, and comprising: a work surface (21) for arranging at least one panel (P) to be processed, wherein this work surface (21) has at least one opening (21') aligned along a first axis (X); a
processing station (2) in which the at least one panel (P) is
cut or processed according to a
cutting scheme and along a
cutting line (T) parallel to the first axis (X) through which at least one opening (21') is
cut or processed; an unloading (3) or loading
station for the at least one processed panel (P), provided with a plurality of support surfaces (31, 32, 33, 34), each of which is movable along the first axis (X);a logical
control unit (U) for controlling the
machine (M), in which cutting patterns are stored that the
processing station (2) must execute on the at least one plate (P), wherein the
machine (M) is characterized in that it comprises optical signaling means (4) which are arranged in accordance with the support surfaces (31, 32, 33, 34) and which are connected to and controlled by the logical
control unit (U), and that the logical
control unit (U) activates the optical signaling means (4) to indicate to the operator where the support surfaces (31, 32, 33, 34) are to be arranged according to each stored cutting pattern.
