A winder for winding continuous webs or interleaved web segments having a machine direction and a cross-machine direction coplanar and orthogonal thereto into rolls is disclosed. The winder comprises a first surface contact roll having a longitudinal axis parallel to the cross-machine direction associated thereto. The web material contacts at least a portion of the first surface contact roll. The winder also has a winding spindle arranged to be rotatably driven about an axis generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of the first surface contact roll. The winding spindle is capable of receiving the web material when the winding spindle is proximate the web material contacting the first surface contact roll. Each of the winding spindle and first surface contact roll is capable of cooperative engagement when the web material is disposed therebetween. Further, the longitudinal axis of the first surface contact roll is adjustable relative to the winding axis of the winding spindle when the web material is received by the winding spindle.
