Through the cooperation of the screw 41 and the guide rod 5, the mounting crossbar 6 is driven to move back and forth. Through the cooperation of the transmission gear 82 and the rack 62, the moving block 8 is driven to move left and right, thereby realizing the free movement of the cutting head 11 for cutting. During positioning, the cutting head 11 moves to the initial position. By inserting the tapered pin 125 into the tapered groove 122, the tapered pin 125 is forcibly aligned with the positioning post 121, and the purpose of accurate repeatable positioning is achieved, ensuring the processing accuracy.
[0021] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the positioning assembly 12 includes a positioning post 121 and a bracket 123.
