A drum cutting device, e.g., for shears adapted to cut flat metal products advancing along a direction substantially parallel to their longitudinal direction of extension, said device being adapted to cut said flat metal products transversely relative to their direction of advancement, wherein said device comprises at least one drum adapted to be rotated and diametrically delimited by a cylindrical surface and containing a blade or knife partially protruding from said cylindrical surface, wherein said blade or knife is partially housed in a seat of said drum and extends longitudinally along a direction substantially parallel to a rotation axis X of said drum, wherein said device comprises an adjustment wedge also housed at least partially in said seat of said drum, wherein a direction of extension of said adjustment wedge is substantially parallel to the rotation axis (X) of said drum and a thickness of said adjustment wedge transversely to its direction of extension continuously varies along said direction of extension from a minimum thickness to a maximum thickness, wherein said adjustment wedge is positioned relative to said blade or knife so that a translation of said adjustment wedge parallel to its direction of extension in a first direction of translation results in a peripheral tangential translation of said blade or knife in a first direction of peripheral tangential translation, while the translation of said adjustment wedge in a second direction of translation opposite to the first one results in the peripheral tangential translation of said blade or knife in a second direction of peripheral tangential translation TP2 opposite to the first one, said device comprising translation means for the translation of said adjustment wedge in said two opposite directions of translation, wherein said translation means are arranged on said drum,
- characterized in that said translation means are of a hydraulically actuated type and adapted to subject the opposite ends of said adjustment wedge to a hydraulic fluid pressure.
