<p>A device (2) for cutting structural sections is described. The device (2) comprises a blade (36) and first and second support means. The first support means which may comprise a platen (8) or anvil carries a section to be cut below the blade. The second support means comprises a plurality of support blades (20) movable from a retracted position into a position wherein each is forced against a side of the section. Actuation means (22) is provided which is operable, when a section is held by the second support means, to move the cutting blade (36) along a cutting path in which it cooperates with the support means to remove a portion of the section to thereby cut the section. The support blades (20) are preferably each movable independently of the others. The orientation of the cutting blade (36) and the support blades (20) relative to a section supported on the first support means is suitably adjustable about a vertical axis through the cutting blade (36). <IMAGE></p> |
