    摘要: An apparatus (100) for cutting workpieces comprises a clamping mechanism (2) adapted to be fastened to said workpiece (1) rotatably therearound. The clamping mechanism (2) comprises a frame element (5) and first and second arms (6, 7) extending therefrom. The arms (6, 7) are coupled at one end to the frame element (5) of the clamping mechanism (2) and each arm (6, 7) has its free end fitted with a contacting member (15, 16, 31, 32) configured to contact the surface of the workpiece. The apparatus comprises also two movable guiding members (28, 29) to which said arms (6, 7) are coupled so that when said guiding members (28, 29) are moved away from each other, the contacting member (15, 16, 31, 32) of the arms (6, 7) are configured to be moved away from each other and vice versa. The apparatus comprises also at least two supporting bars (50, 51) elongated through said guiding members (28, 29). The first supporting bar (50) comprises a first threaded portion (52) with a first coupling means (21), and the second supporting bar (51) comprising a second threaded portion (53) with a second coupling means (22). The first arm (6) and the first coupling means (21) are functionally coupled to each other by a first suspension arm (24), and the second arm (7) and the second coupling means (22) are functionally coupled to each other by a second suspension arm (25). The supporting bars are configured to be rotated at the same time.
