A liner-separating tape-feeding machine that automatically feeds pressure-sensitive tape from a supply roll, peels the liner off the tape, delivering the tape in one direction and the liner in another and separating the tape into predetermined lengths. The liner is peeled from the tape by being brought around an edge at an acute angle from the tape, while it is kept under tension by having its feed roller move at a greater peripheral speed than the feed roller for the unseparated tape. Means are provided for optional delivery of a selected length of tape each time a previous piece of tape is removed from the machine.
