Based on the kinematic features of the Planetary Cutter Head (PCH),this paper deals with specificity of rock breakago with PCH, and the basic laws of this process are presented, The study shows that the axial force acting on the drilling face by a single cutter and the uniaxial compressive strength of the drilled rock have the marked influence on the penetrating depth of the cutter ,and the breakage of the drilling face with the PCH has two forms,the cyclical and the noncyclical. The major reason why the PCH has higher drilling efficiency than other cutter heads is that the PCH can make more free faces on the drilling face.
