<p>A device for cutting longitudinal strips from reels of material in sheet form comprising a frame carrying a rotatable shaft to which is secured a disc having an annular peripheral surface which in transverse section has a rouned profile against which bears two cylindrical bearing surfaces formed on a rotatable member carried by an arm pivotably connected to the frame. The cylindrical bearing surfaces are separated from one another and disposed in different planes for contacting the rounded profile of the peripheral surfaces at spaced locations on the rounded profile. The bearing surfaces can be formed on spaced roller bearings whose inner cages are secured in axially spaced rotation on the supporting spindle. The bearing surfaces can also be formed on a ring having a groove therein.</p>
