<p>A laminated sheet cutting method and apparatus for making consistent cuts partially through a laminated sheet without requiring high precision control of the cutter cutting depth are provided. The method for cutting partially through an adhesive tape comprising a base tape and a backing paper cuts only the base tape of the adhesive tape to a particular planar shape without cutting the backing paper. The adhesive tape is placed on a flexible member with the backing paper of the adhesive tape in contact with flexible member. The adhesive tape is held immobile on flexible member. The cutter having a beveled cutting edge is then pressed into the flexible member with the leading edge of the cutting edge descending to a specific cutting depth. The cutter is moved relative to the adhesive tape to cut only the base tape.</p>
