Abstract
An adjustable cutting mechanism for mounting on an extruder. The cutting mechanism incorporates a square stock blade holder that is axially adjustable and holds a shortened cutting blade. The axial adjustment allows for uniform contact of the cutting mechanism blades with an associated extruder die surface. A shorter blade, along with the adjustability of the mechanism for contact with the die face, prevents deflection of the cutting blade and, thereby, insures the precise cutting action needed for the product to maintain shape integrity.
