Guide shoe for a cutting machine

摘要

A guide shoe (8) for cutting machines with a pin-type drive has an insertion pocket in which a coupling piece (15) engages from above, which coupling piece is arranged on a guide arm (7) of the cutting machine and to which the guide shoe (8) is attached so as to be pivotable about a transverse bolt (23) which passes through the insertion pocket. In order also to allow the guide shoe (8) to be pivotable about a vertical axis, the coupling piece is provided with an upright vertical journal (29) which engages from below in a corresponding bearing hole (30) on the guide arm. In this case, in a preferred embodiment, the bearing journal is decoupled from transverse forces which are transmitted between the guide arm and the guide shoe via a transverse-force piece (16) arranged on the coupling piece.
