A novel type of splice trimmer is disclosed for use in a tape winding machine of the type designed to (1) splice magnetic tape into a leader tape connected between two hubs, and (2) take up the added tape on one of the two hubs. The present invention comprises a pneumatically-operated cutting mechanism designed to impart a double concave "Gibson Girl" cut to the spliced tape at the splicing junction so as to substantially eliminate any tape overhang created by misalignment of the tape and leader during the splicing phase of the tape winding operation.
