The invention provides a variable-speed
cutting method for circular groove
machining, and belongs to the field of
machining. By the adoption of the variable-speed
cutting method for circular groove
machining, the problem of poor
chip breaking effect during grooving in the prior art is solved. According to the variable-speed
cutting method for circular groove machining, an automatic
machine tool executes multiple variable-speed cycles within one cutting circumference to conduct grooving on a workpiece, and each variable-feed cycle includes a normal feed F1 and a variable feed F2; before machining, the cutting depth ap is set, and F1 and F2 are set, wherein F2<F1<ap, and F1+F2<ap; and then the following steps are conducted: Step 1, the workpiece is
cut according to the feed F1, wherein the number of rotating turns of a spindle is F1 / ap; Step 2, the workpiece is
cut according to the feed F2, wherein the number of rotating turns of the spindle is F2 / ap; and after one variable-feed machining cycle formed by Step 1 and Step 2 is completed, actions in the variable-feed cycle are repeated cyclically until grooving within one cutting circumference is completed. In this way, a good
chip tailcurling effect can be realized.
