A rotary cutting device includes a body having a cutter blade with a cutting edge and a pressure roller mounted relative to the cutter blade. The cutter blade is configured to rotate about a rotational axis. The pressure roller is rotationally fixed. The cutter blade and the pressure roller are positioned relative to each other such that pressure is applied to a material fed therebetween. As the cutter blade rotates relative to the pressure roller, the pressure applied to the material being fed therebetween allows for a width of material to cut by a cutting edge of rotating cutter blade. An embossing roller may be used in place of the cutter blade to emboss material. The device also includes guide for guiding material into the machine, pressure adjustment for pressure applied to the material, and rotational speed control. A method for using the rotary cutting device is also disclosed.
A rotary cutting device comprising:
A rotary cutting device comprising:
A method for cutting material using a rotary cutting device comprising a body comprising a motor therein that is configured to selectively receive power from a power source, a cutter blade with a cutting edge mounted to a shaft in the body, the shaft configured to rotate about a rotational axis, a pressure roller mounted relative to the cutter blade on a bearing shaft, the pressure roller being fixed to remain rotationally stationary relative to the bearing shaft and to the cutter blade, the cutter blade and the pressure roller being positioned relative to each other such that pressure is applied to a material fed therebetween, and the motor being configured to selectively rotate the shaft about its axis such that the cutter blade rotates relative to the pressure roller so that a width of material is cut by the cutting edge as the material is fed between the rotating cutter blade and the pressure roller;
