Abstract (en)

The invention provides a machine for cutting a trench in rock wherein, in order to avoid cutter head bounce if the cutter were mounted at the end of a boom and to thereby provide an improved cutting action, a telescopic control arm (25) is secured to the end of the boom (11) adjacent to the cutting head (21). The boom (11) is pivotally secured to a trailing crawler chassis (3) and the telescopic control arm (25) is secured to a forward crawler chassis (5).
