A machine for cutting slabs of marble or similar material along a cutting plane parallel to the planes of the slabs includes a cutting device (2) with a diamond wire (8) which passes around two pulleys (6, 7) in a closed loop within a vertical plane, and a conveyor line (11) for transporting slabs (L) through the cutting device (2) in succession, each slab (L) being kept in a vertical plane substantially coinciding with the plane of the loop of diamond wire (8) so that each slab (L) is cut and divided into two half-slabs (L1, L2). The machine also includes means for loading the slabs (L) to be cut onto the loading end of the conveyor line and means for unloading the cut half-slabs (L1, L2) from the output end of the conveyor line. |
