Turbomachine blade ring segment cutting tool and related guide

The invention relates to a turbomachine blade ring segment cutting tool and a related guide. Specifically, a cutting tool for cutting a blade mount ring segment from a ring segment slot in a turbomachine casing having a plurality of ring segment slots along an inclined surface is provided. The cutting tool includes a motor; a cutting blade driven by the motor to cut the ring segment; and a support element for supporting the motor. A guide for guiding a cutting tool circumferentially relative to the ring segment includes: a rip fence extending from the support element and including a slide member for slidingly engaging a respective empty ring slot that is axially displaced in the turbomachine casing from the slot in which the ring segment is positioned, and at least one incline compensating member coupled to the support element for slidingly engaging the inclined surface of the turbomachine casing and positioning the support element such that the cutting element of the cutting tool cuts the ring segment. 本发明涉及
