Abstract
A master processing apparatus for use with a pair of removable feed rolls includes a frame, a master processing assembly, and a cutter assembly. The processing assembly performs a master processing operation wherein adhesive bonding is caused between a master and stock materials of the feed rolls. The cutter assembly is removably mounted to the frame on the discharge side of processing assembly. The cutter assembly has a blade movable to perform a severing operation wherein the blade cuts through the stock materials discharged from the processing assembly in a direction generally transverse to the feeding direction to sever a final product including the processed master and stock materials from a remainder of the supply of stock materials. The cutter assembly is removable from the frame for placement on a support surface to perform other cutting operations including a trimming operation wherein the blade is moved in the feeding direction.
