Speed control is the core problem of cutting machine design, the past has been the experience of adjusting the cutting speed, the lack of theoretical basis, randomness. In view of this, according to the basic requirements of cutting efficiency maximization, deduces the removal rate and feed speed, time equation, solving the cutting efficiency problem exists in the design of machine, and established when the removal rate is constant, relation curves of shear rate and time. Use of the method of cutting machine design, can improve the accuracy and scientific design, has higher application value.
