Abstract
 Agriculture is one of the oldest professions
but the development and use of machinery
has made the job title of farmer a rarity.
 The basic technology of agricultural
machines has changed little in the last
century with the coming of the Industrial
Revolution and the development of more
complicated machines.
 The present work to fabricate a machine
which is simple in construction than the
existing machines.
 The equipment make the use of crank and
slotted lever mechanism with one slider
to couple with an electric motor using
pulley and belt drive.
Introduction
 The working principle behind the operation of
simple mechanical cutting machine is four bar
chain mechanism particularly crank and slotted
lever mechanism.
 The crank wheel is rotated by the motor through
the pulley belt assembly. The rotating motion the
crank wheel is converted into oscillating motion
by the coupling link by using the slider.
 The oscillating motion at the other end of the
coupling link is converted into reciprocating
motion to the blade by using guide hole.
 Due to the reciprocating motion of the
blade, the object placed on the platform is
cutter for successfully transmitting the
rotational motion from the motor to the
crank with minimum slip v-belt drive is used.
 The bearing which supports the shaft is
rolling ball bearing for smooth operation.
 By using 110 watt power single phase a.c
induction motor, this machine can able to
reciprocates approximately 250 times per
minute.
Advantage
 It is very easy to operate.
 The design is simple.
 Less maintenance.
 Initial cost of the machine is very low.
 Quick processing.
 No need of skilled labours.
 Less floor space required.
limitations
 Not suitable for cutting hard materials.
 Electric power supply should be available.
