A cutting unit in an arrangement for cutting and removing wires from bales, comprising:

• a cutting tool, adapted to cut off wires that are arranged around a bale, having an outer cutter and an inner cutter which are coaxially arranged and the inner cutter being rotatable relative to the outer cutter, and the inner cutter having a cutting edge movable towards the outer cutter when the inner cutter is rotated towards the outer cutter in a predetermined direction, in order to cut off objects between the outer cutter and the inner cutter,
• the inner cutter being rotatable about an axis (A) extending perpendicularly with respect to a wire that is to be cut off,
• the cutting edges of the inner cutter and the outer cutter extending axially along the axis (A) in a continuation of the cutting tool to cut off objects that are located in the continuation of the cutting tool along the axis (A),
• a flat front portion which is arranged to face a working location (W) at which the bale is to be positioned when wires of the bale are cut off and removed from the bale, and
• the flat front portion has a recess defined therein through which the cutting tool is arranged to be carried back and forth between a retracted position and a working position,
• when in the retracted position the cutting tool is positioned behind the front portion, and when in the working position the cutting tool protrudes through the front portion.
