To eliminate the noisy milling machines for cutting grooves in articulation pieces of innersoles, a machine is provided which comprises a series of pairs of forwarding rollers, one of the rollers of the first few pairs of rollers has a double knife formed on at least a part of its circumference so that a piece passing between such a pair has two longitudinal cuts formed thereon which are to become the side walls of the groove; a transverse skinning knife is pivotally mounted so as to be moveable into and out of the path of this piece as it passes a subsequent pair of rollers, this knife has the width of the groove and is pivoted into the path of the piece to remove the material between the longitudinal cuts. Preferably, a bracket device is associated with the skinning knife to maintain the straight path of the piece as the skinning knife works on it.
A groove cutting machine for the production of grooves for the reception of steel springs in articulation pieces or innersoles for shoes, comprising a series of forwarding pairs of opposed rollers which are rotated to feed the piece therebetween, one roller of one pair following the first pair, having a double knife on at least a portion of its circumference adapted to but the side walls of the groove to be formed in the piece, a transversely directed skinning knife of the breadth of the cut, said knife being pivotally mounted to project into or away from the path of a piece as it passes a pair of rollers subsequent to the rollers with the double knife.
