Claim:
A web cut-off assembly for a rewinder apparatus, comprising: a bedroll disposed such that web material from a parent roll passes around a circumferential surface portion of said bedroll; a pair of bedroll blades retractably mounted on said bedroll, said bedroll blades moveable from a retracted position to a protracted position radially beyond said bedroll to engage the web material for a web cutting event; a chopper roll disposed proximate to said bedroll, said chopper roll comprising a first blade and a second blade extending from a radius circular circumference surface of said chopper roll, said first and second blades rotationally intermeshing with said bedroll blades in said web cuffing event; said first blade extending from said chopper roll radius circular circumferential surface at an angle having a tangential and a radial component; and said second blade having a blade tip segment extending from said chopper roll radius circular circumferential surface at an angle having a tangential and a radial component and resiliently mounted to said chopper roll so as to have a resiliency greater than that of said first blade.
