The connecting rod drives the second spur gear to rotate, and the second spur gear drives the first spur gear near the cutting line to rotate, which enables the vertical rod to rotate.

At this time, the cutting device processes the workpiece on the side closer to the cutting line 8, and the operator can change the material on the three-jaw chuck 18 on the side away from the cutting line 8, realizing material change while processing, reducing the time wasted on material change, and improving processing efficiency.
