Abstract: The machine comprises: an L-shaped frame (1); a gear box (2) that moves vertically and is fixed on vertical driving shafts (5) on the frame fixed on a flat surface by suction cups (9); a lever (12) crossing the gear box that allows adjustments for cutting a product; a rotary holding table arranged under the gear box that moves using a cutting arm fixed at a lever arm; an adapter for holding the product fixed at the rotary holding table rotatable at 360[deg] ; a cartridge arranged under the adapter that holds the product with pins; and a coupling mechanism fixed to a rear of the cartridge. The machine comprises: an L-shaped frame (1); a gear box (2) that moves vertically and is fixed on vertical driving shafts (5) on the frame fixed on a flat surface by suction cups (9); a lever (12) crossing the gear box that allows adjustments for cutting a product; a rotary holding table arranged under the gear box that moves using a cutting arm fixed at a lever arm; an adapter for holding the product fixed at the rotary holding table rotatable at 360[deg] ; a cartridge arranged under the adapter that holds the product with pins; and a coupling mechanism fixed to a rear of the cartridge to allow a system to apply a pressure to the cartridge and a turntable fixed at movable rails on horizontal driving shafts. The gear box comprises gears moving the rotary holding table that transmits the motion from the differential gear to the turntable. The machine further comprises: a driveshaft screw rotatable at 360[deg] with the push of the lever arm fixed on the cutting arm; a gear hub rotatable at 360[deg] with the push of the shaft screw; a synchronization belt case fixed on the driveshaft screw that moves simultaneously with a square groove screw fixed at the gear hub; a bevel-type differential gear in which the movement in the case is transmitted to a synchronization belt; a cutting knife arranged on a body placed on plastic holding arms; a spur cutter that cuts out the product cut by the cutting knife and is fixed at or separated from the body; and a wing screw that adjusts a vertical speed of the square groove screw. The gear box includes: the synchronization belt placed at a distance between the driveshaft screw positioned at 90[deg] compared to the square groove screw, and the belt case fixed on the differential gear; a pulley of belt positioned to adjust the tension of the synchronization belt; and a tension mechanism fixed on the pulley of belt. The cartridge includes a nipple that aligns the product cut out by the spur cutter. The cartridge has replaceable knives. The turntable receives a connection nipple fixed at a flange that moves in to and from the vertical driving shafts via an insert of the turntable. The pins and the adapter include the insert to fix the connection nipples on the rotary holding table. The coupling mechanism includes a connection spring for coupling with the product to be worked with a constant pressure, a connection pin and a connection bolt. The flange is fixed behind the gear box.
