Dehiding tool

A handheld dehider tool comprising:

• an elongated handle;
• a rotary cutting disk having an outer cutting edge and a stationary disk having an outer edge coupled side-by-side on said handle, said rotary cutting disk having an inner surface opposite an outer surface, said stationary disk having an inner surface opposite an outer surface, said inner surface of said rotary cutting disk facing toward the inner surface of the stationary disk, said rotary cutting disk being rotatable about an axis;
• a first gear extending from the inner surface of the rotary cutting disk;
• a drive member coupled to the first gear to drive the rotary disk to rotate about the axis in response to power transmitted to the drive member;
• the stationary disk mounted in at least a substantially fixed position adjacent the rotary disk so that the outer edges of the two disks are closely spaced in a face-to-face relation for producing a shearing and cutting action when the cutting edge of the rotary disk is driven relative to the edge of the stationary disk.
