Sheet cutting device, printer, and sheet cutting method

Abstract

Durability of cutting performance of a fixed blade and a movable blade is increased to downsize a device as a whole and to reduce manufacture costs thereof. The device includes a flat fixed blade (21), a flat movable blade (22) having a blade edge allowed to perform horizontal movement with respect to the fixed blade (21) in directions approaching and departing from a blade edge of the fixed blade (21), a drive mechanism (23) for moving the movable blade (22) with respect to the fixed blade (21), and spacers (28) for forming a predetermined gap according to a thickness of a sheet material (5) between the blade edges (21a) and (22a) in a thickness direction of those when the blade edges (21a) and (22a) of the fixed blade (21) and the movable blade (22), respectively, intersect with each other.
