Abstract:
A method for reciprocally cutting a photoresist film web material movable in a direction of motion, said method comprising the steps of:cutting said photoresist film web material at a first location by initially engaging a side edge of said web material with a first blade fixedly positioned on a holder adapted for moving in first and second opposite directions substantially perpendicular to said direction of motion of said web material and thereafter cutting said web material when said holder moves in said first direction substantially perpendicular to said direction of motion of said web material; and thereafter initially engaging another side edge of said web material with a second blade fixedly positioned on said holder co-planar with the first blade and fixedly positioned on said holder and thereafter cutting said web material at a second location spaced from said first location when said holder moves in said second opposite direction substantially perpendicular to said direction of motion of said web material, said cutting resulting in a predetermined length of said web material being provided and occurring while said first and second blades are each positioned at an angle of from about ten degrees to about fifteen degrees relative to said web material.
