Abstract: A vertical rim trimming machine has a base, a horizontal sliding stand, a vertical sliding stand, a cutter turret, a bottom stand and a fixture. The horizontal sliding stand is mounted on and can horizontally move with respect to the base. The vertical sliding stand is mounted on and can vertically move with respect to the horizontal sliding stand. The cutter turret is mounted on the vertical sliding stand. The bottom stand is mounted on the base. The fixture is mounted on the bottom stand. Thus, the horizontal sliding stand horizontally moves with respect to the base stably and the vertical sliding stand vertically moves with respect to the horizontal sliding stand stably, such that the structure of the vertical rim trimming machine becomes firmer and the stability of trimming is improved.
