Abstract: A slider separating method, which is provided for cutting a row bar constituted with a plurality of slider-forming portions along its length direction into individual sliders, includes a bonding process to bond said row bar to a bonding surface of a cutting fixture along a side surface that extends in the length direction; a cutting process to cut said row bar bonded on said cutting fixture into individual sliders along cutting gaps provided between the slider-forming portions; a bonding force decreasing process to decrease bonding force between each diced slider and the bonding surface; and a separating process to push out and separate each slider with decreased bonding force from said cutting fixture along a side direction being parallel to said bonding surface and perpendicular to said length direction.
