device for cutting heavy materials, in particular trees, complete a basisteil (2) and a relative to the basisteil (2) by a u00f6ffnungslage in a schlie u00dflage revolving and swinging (1), the fins is executed and a schneidplatte (5), and the swing (1) in its u00f6ffnungslage by a thrust block (7) of the basisteils (2) beabstandet isand in their schlie u00dflage with the thrust block (7) of the basisteils (2) a room (11) to separate materials', the schneidplatte gequert (5), whereby the thrust block (7) of basisteil fins (2) auskragt and the recording space (11) querende gegenschneidplatte (6) level.erfindungsgem u00e4 u00df is provided that the gegenschneidplatte (6) of the widerlagers (7) and the schneidplatte (5) of the swing (1) in its schlie u00dflage overlap. using the erfindungsgem u00e4 u00df measures the room (11) of the schneidwerks increased, so now more logs can be cut without the swing out (1) to increase.
