Cutting Tool Adjustable Stop for Edge Band Butt Cuts
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing cutting tools are difficult to handle when cutting edge bands to length for attachment to a workpiece panel, especially when attempting a butt cut, as they require precise alignment and adjustment to avoid interference with the workpiece.
Innovation Solution
A cutting tool with adjustable side stop holders and a face stop body that can be mounted on either side, allowing for fine adjustment between working and rest positions, enabling both edge and butt cuts without interference, using mechanisms like eccentric bearings for precise alignment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed face stop body is provided on the cutting tool, then the cutting tool can perform edge cuts, but it interferes with the ability to perform butt cuts
Solution Approach 1:
The face stop body is made movable relative to the side stop holder, allowing it to be adjusted between a working position (protruding) for edge cuts and a rest position (retracted) for butt cuts. This dynamic adjustment enables the cutting tool to perform multiple cutting operations without interference, resolving the contradiction between versatility and device complexity.
2Ease of operation
If the face stop body is always in the working position, then edge cuts are enabled, but butt cuts become difficult to perform
Solution Approach 1:
The face stop body can be dynamically positioned - protruding for edge cuts and retracted for butt cuts - allowing easy switching between different cutting operations. This resolves the contradiction by making the tool adaptable to different cutting types while maintaining ease of operation for each specific task.
3Manufacturing precision
If the cutting tool lacks an adjustable stop mechanism, then the structure is simple, but precise alignment for both edge and butt cuts cannot be achieved
Solution Approach 1:
The adjustable stop holder allows precise positioning of the face stop body relative to the cutting edge through controlled movement between working and rest positions. This dynamic adjustment capability enables precise alignment for both edge and butt cuts, resolving the contradiction between manufacturing precision and device complexity.
4Device complexity
If a single fixed stop holder is provided, then the device structure is simple, but it cannot serve both edge and butt cutting functions
Solution Approach 1:
The adjustable stop holder is designed to perform multiple functions - supporting both edge cuts and butt cuts - by allowing the face stop body to be positioned differently. This single universal component replaces the need for separate fixed stop holders for different cutting operations, resolving the contradiction between device complexity and adaptability.

AI summary
The invention relates to a cutting tool (10) for cutting off a section of edge banding (70) that projects freely in front of a workpiece plate (80) and is attached to an end face (85) of the workpiece plate (80), wherein the cutting tool (10) has a secondary side stop surface (13, 14) for support against a secondary side of the workpiece plate (80) extending next to the end face (85), wherein the cutting tool (10) has a first cutting tool (21) arranged on a base body (15) and a second cutting tool (22) movably mounted relative to the first cutting tool, which can be brought into a cutting engagement for cutting the edge banding (70), wherein the cutting tool (10) has at least one end-side stop body (46) for end-side support.and wherein the cutting tool for cutting the edge banding (70) to length has an edge side stop holder (47) on an edge between the end face (85) carrying the edge banding (70) and a free end face of the workpiece plate (80). The cutting tool is designed to cut the edge banding (70) to length for subsequent attachment to a free end face section of the same end face from which the edge banding (70) projects. It features a butt-end stop bracket (52) and the end-face stop body (46) can be optionally mounted on the butt-end stop bracket (52) or the edge-end stop bracket (47), and/or is adjustable on the side-end stop bracket on which it is located between a working position (A) projecting in front of the secondary side stop surface (13) to the end face of the workpiece plate (80) and a rest position (R) not projecting in front of the secondary side stop surface (13) to the workpiece plate (80).
