Abstract
A device for severing flexible polymeric tube, pipe, or tubular extrudate, such as flexible light pipe, reproducibly, cleanly, and safely is described. The device comprises a block with two specially aligned cylindrical devices for holding the pipe and a slot between the devices for guiding the severing blade with minimum deviation from its path, and a pivot and mounting upon which a blade in a holder is mounted to give even more accurate and uniform control of the path of the severing action.
