The present invention relates to a device for sawing plate-shaped material, in which the saw moves on a slide (20) at an acute angle to the feed direction of the material (11) to be sawn with simultaneous feeding of the material. The saw blade and the saw motor are arranged under the table. Moving simultaneously with the saw blade is a slide (17) which has on its top side a plane bearing surface which prevents chattering of the material (11) in the cutting path (31) during the cut. <IMAGE>
