Abstract
A cutter comprising a movable block with an upper cutting edge and a stationary block having a lower cutting edge are movably connected together as a unit for simultaneous insertion and removal in a cutting mechanism to facilitate the interchangeability of different cutting edges. An eccentric cam driven by a drive motor is movable into and out of engagement with cam followers carried by the movable block for reciprocating the movable block relative to the stationary block and for permitting the removal of the two blocks as a unit from the cutter mechanism.
