CUTTER CARTRIDGE AND CUTTING APPARATUS

摘要

A cutting apparatus includes a carriage provided with a cartridge holder to which a cutter cartridge is detachably attachable, a moving unit moving an object to be cut and the carriage relative to each other so that the object is cut by a cutter of the cutter cartridge. The cutter has a base and having a distal end side formed with a blade and the cutter cartridge includes an outer casing housing at least the base of the cutter and having an abutting portion. The holder has a receiving against which the abutting portion abuts. At least one of the abutting and receiving portions is tapered so as to be concentric with the cutter base. When the cutter cartridge is attached to the holder, the abutting portion is caused to abut against the receiving portion, so that a central axis of the cutter is positioned at a predetermined position.
