Laminated sheet cutting method

A method for cutting a laminated sheet which includes a backing sheet and a base sheet, the method comprising the steps of:

• providing an elastically compressible member;
• providing a cutter which has a beveled cutting edge, the cutting edge having a leading part;
• pressing the laminated sheet with the backing sheet facing and being in contact with the elastically compressible member;
• positioning the leading part of the cutting edge of the cutter at a cutting depth that reaches the elastically compressible member;
• moving the cutter in a direction parallel to a median plane of the laminated sheet and locally depressing the laminated sheet and the elastically compressible member to allow the cutting edge to reach only the base sheet to cut the base sheet while leaving the backing sheet uncut.

A method for cutting a laminated sheet which includes a backing sheet and a base sheet, the method comprising the steps of:

• providing a flexible member, wherein the step of providing the flexible member includes providing an adhesive surface therewith;
• providing a cutter which has a beveled cutting edge, the cutting edge having a leading part;
• pressing the laminated sheet with the backing sheet facing and being in contact with the flexible member;
• and
• moving the cutter relative to the laminated sheet at a cutting depth such that the leading part of the cutting edge of the cutter reaches the flexible member, such that the laminated sheet is cut into a predetermined planar shape wherein the base sheet is cut while the backing sheet is left uncut.

A method for cutting a laminated sheet which includes a backing sheet and a base sheet, the method comprising the steps of:

• providing a flexible member, wherein the step of providing the flexible member includes providing an adsorptive surface therewith;
• providing a cutter which has a beveled cutting edge, the cutting edge having a leading part;
• pressing the laminated sheet with the backing sheet facing and being in contact with the flexible member;
• and
• moving the cutter relative to the laminated sheet at a cutting depth such that the leading part of the cutting edge of the cutter reaches the flexible member, such that the laminated sheet is cut into a predetermined planar shape wherein the base sheet is cut while the backing sheet is left uncut.

A method for cutting a laminated sheet which includes a backing sheet and a base sheet, the method comprising the steps of:

• providing a flexible member, wherein the step of providing the flexible member includes providing the flexible member with a hardness in a range of 5-40 as measured by a JIS (Japan Industrial Standard) HS hardness gauge;
• providing a cutter which has a beveled cutting edge, the cutting edge having a leading part;
• pressing the laminated sheet with the backing sheet facing and being in contact with the flexible member;
• and
• moving the cutter relative to the laminated sheet at a cutting depth such that the leading part of the cutting edge of the cutter reaches the flexible member, such that the laminated sheet is cut into a predetermined planar shape wherein the base sheet is cut while the backing sheet is left uncut.

A method for cutting a laminated sheet which includes a backing sheet and a base sheet, the method comprising the steps of:

• providing a flexible member, wherein the step of providing the flexible member includes forming the flexible member from an ether urethane rubber;
• providing a cutter which has a beveled cutting edge, the cutting edge having a leading part;
• pressing the laminated sheet with the backing sheet facing and being in contact with the flexible member;
• and
• moving the cutter relative to the laminated sheet at a cutting depth such that the leading part of the cutting edge of the cutter reaches the flexible member, such that the laminated sheet is cut into a predetermined planar shape wherein the base sheet is cut while the backing sheet is left uncut.

A method for cutting a laminated sheet which includes a backing sheet and a base sheet, the method comprising the steps of:

• providing a flexible member;
• providing a cutter which has a beveled cutting edge, the cutting edge having a leading part;
• providing a part of the flexible member corresponding to intermediate cutting positions with a hardness and a part of the flexible member corresponding to cutting start and cutting end positions of the cutter with a hardness greater than the hardness of the part of the flexible member corresponding to the intermediate cutting positions between the cutting start and cutting end positions;
• pressing the laminated sheet with the backing sheet facing and being in contact with the flexible member;
• and
• moving the cutter relative to the laminated sheet at a cutting depth such that the leading part of the cutting edge of the cutter reaches the flexible member, such that the laminated sheet is cut into a predetermined planar shape wherein the base sheet is cut while the backing sheet is left uncut.

• and
• setting the cutting depth of the cutter relative to the flexible member to be deeper at cutting start and cutting end positions of the cutter than the cutting depth at intermediate cutting positions between the cutting start and cutting end positions.
