The drive mechanism reciprocates a cutting blade having a cutting plane parallel to the surface being worked and which blade includes a plurality of teeth directed in a direction for normal raking the surface being worked. A second fixed or movable cutting blade cooperates with the first cutting blade to form a plurality of parallel shears. Shoes are provided to support the first and second cutting blades at a height above the surface to be worked and collection elements may be mounted to the rake at the rear of the cutting blades for temporarily retaining cut waste.
