A flexible circular saw, which can be used in a novel machining process for high-speed carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) cutting, was developed. This process can carry out high-speed curved-line cutting with a feed rate of 3 m/min. However, the minimum radius of the target curve that can be cut by this process was limited to larger than R3200 mm. It couldn't meet the demand for small radius curves. In this research, in order to apply to small products, micro sawing machine for flexible circular saw was developed. The minimum radius of the target curve depends on the diameter of the saw. The micro saw with the diameter of 50 mm can realize the radius of R205 mm. Then, the feasibility test of the micro saw was carried out.
