The cutting device has a first blade and a second blade that are pivotable with respect to one another at a fulcrum. At least one of the first and second blades has a concave shape and cooperates with the other blade to keep the part of the tire inside of the blades. The supplying device includes a movable unit which can pivot about a vertical axis between first and second positions.
