Vegetable slicing machines are becoming more and more popular in this day and age. There are also so many types and sizes of various brand which can be found in local market for domestic use. But, there are small and medium fried potato businesses that are producing fried potato chips with a high capacity in Myanmar. Therefore, when the local fried potato businesses are slicing the raw potatoes, they use human workers for peeling and cutting. Even though the skillful workers are used, the processing time is still long. It should be faster for high production and also have human errors such as unequal thickness of potato chips, etc. To overcome the ineffective factors, the potato slicing machine which is intended for the local small and medium fried potato businesses will be an answer. In this research, the potato slicing machine is designed and constructed for the local fried potato business. The capacity of the machine is four kg/min. The 1.1 kW motor is used for driving mechanism. The V-belt and V-grooved pulley are used for the power transmission system. The base frame material is cast iron and the cutting blade is also cast iron. The shaft material is mild steel. The efficiency of the machine is over 80%. The dimension is 40 mm in length, 77 mm in width and 96 mm in height
