A notch cutter provides a first pair of inwardly facing shear edges in a V. A second pair of outwardly facing shear edges make an almost complementary V with a slightly smaller convergence angle. One pair of shear edges is caused to contact respective ones of the other pair along contact points moving from the entrance of the notch to the apex of the notch. One pair of shear edges is resiliently mounted relative to the other. When used to separate strips and form the ends of the separated strips, the V's of the first and second edge pairs may be truncated since the shear edges need only be wider than the strips on which they act to form their separating and edge shaping functions.
