Patent ID: 7779737

Claim:
An apparatus for cutting panelized material in two axes, comprising: a frame defining a plane having a longitudinal X axis and a lateral Y axis, the frame adapted to support a back surface of the panelized material; a guide shelf adjacent to a lower edge of the frame and generally perpendicular to the plane for supporting a side edge of the panelized material to be cut; a first guide rail and a second guide rail coupled to the frame, each guide rail aligned generally parallel to the plane and spaced apart from the frame and generally perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the guide shelf; a first movable platform coupled to the first rail for movement parallel to the frame Y axis, the first moveable platform generally parallel to the plane; and a second movable platform coupled to the second rail for movement parallel to the frame Y axis; a first machining tool comprising a housing pivotably coupled to the first platform at a pivot point, and a biasing mechanism, the biasing mechanism pivotably coupled to the housing and coupled to the first platform, whereby the housing of the first machining tool is moveable via the biasing mechanism between an extended position and a retracted position with respect to the first platform and wherein the biasing mechanism is adapted to apply a first torque on the housing about the pivot point to secure the housing in the extended position and wherein the biasing mechanism is adapted to apply a counter posing second torque on the housing about the pivot point to secure the housing in the retracted position.
