Abstract:
1. An improved blind cutting machine of the type having a work surface on which a blind is to be cut is placed, an end stop against which an end of the blind to be cut rests prior to being cut and a cutting mechanism which cuts the blind to be cut, the improvement comprising: an actuator attached to the end stop for moving the end stop relative to the work surface; and a controller connected to the actuator, the controller having: a data entry device attached to the housing, the memory containing a program such that when an operator enters information that comprises a product type and at least one product identifier which is not merely a dimension of the product and with which at least one dimension of the blind to be cut is associated and the dimensions of an opening over which the blind to be cut is to be mounted the controller sends a signal to the actuator which causes the actuator to position the end stop at a location where a correct amount of material can be trimmed from an end of the blind to be cut to enable the blind to fit the opening.
