Abstract
A system and method for cutting straws. The system includes a cutting device. The cutting device may include a cutting device frame, a tubing guide connected to the cutting device frame for receiving tubing and guiding the tubing into a position to be cut, and a blade spool having a spool central axis. The blade spool may include a spool frame, connected to the cutting device frame, and a blade assembly. The spool frame may rotate with respect to the cutting device frame about the spool central axis. The blade assembly may include a blade shaft connected to the spool frame and a blade connected to the blade shaft. The blade may rotate about the blade shaft central axis and move through the tubing when the tubing is in the position to be cut. In another embodiment, the system may include a winding device and a control monitor.
