Abstract:
A method of removing paper from a paper roll having a central axis with a device having a frame, a platform rotatably attached to the frame, an elongate track attached to the frame, a movable cutting arm attached to the track and a saw blade rotatably attached to the cutting arm, the method comprising the steps of:a) positioning the paper roll on the platform such that the central axis extends in generally parallel relation to the track; b) rotating the paper roll about the central axis defined thereby via the rotation of the platform; c) advancing the saw blade toward the central axis of the paper roll via the cutting arm; d) cutting the paper roll with the saw blade; and e) removing the cut paper from the paper roll; wherein step (b) comprises using a second cutting means for making at least one diametrical cut along a radius in the direction of the central axis in the end of the paper roll to be removed to a depth equal to the total width of the section to be removed from the paper roll prior to rotating the paper roll; whereby, the end of the paper being cut is easily removed and does not hinder the cutting process.
