Abstract
A device for slitting billets rolled to produce a multiple stranded bar, in which a guide member and support rollers direct the multiple stranded bar, emerging from a stand, against a rotary knife having a circular blade bevelled peripherally to provide shoulders over which individual strands will ride, thus splitting the bar in advance of the knife. Passages behind the knife channel the individual strands.
