Foot pedal cutting machine is a small and medium-sized cutting equipment that relies on foot pedal power to drive or control the cutting action. Its core feature is to free both hands to fix the workpiece, while considering the convenience and safety of operation. It is widely used in building materials processing, hardware maintenance and other scenarios. The following will introduce it from the core dimension:
1、 Working principle
Foot pedal power type (mechanical transmission):
The operator steps on the pedal and drives the cutting blade (such as grinding wheel or alloy saw blade) to rotate through the connecting rod, gear or belt transmission mechanism; Fix the material to be cut with both hands and push it towards the cutting piece, completing the cutting through mechanical friction or cutting force. After releasing the pedal, the cutting piece stops due to inertia or braking device.
2、 Performance characteristics
1. High safety: Both hands focus on fixing the workpiece, foot pedal controls cutting start and stop, avoiding the misoperation of "holding the material with one hand and pressing the switch with the other hand", greatly reducing the risk of debris scratches or cutting blade injuries.
2. Easy to operate: No need for external complex power (mechanical models have no power requirements), suitable for mobile scenarios such as decoration sites and outdoor maintenance; Although electric models require a power source, foot pedal triggering is more flexible.
3. Low cost and easy maintenance: The structure is much simpler than CNC or large cutting machines, with a unit price of several hundred yuan, and the core consumables (cutting blades) are easy to purchase; Daily maintenance only requires cleaning and checking the lubrication of transmission components.
4. Limitations: Low cutting efficiency (relying on manual foot force or miniaturized motor design), only suitable for cutting thin and short materials, unable to handle heavy materials such as thick steel plates and large-sized stones.
