Abstract
A cut-pile tufting machine is disclosed having a module rotatably supporting a plurality of circular knife blades driven by fluid driven turbine wheels. The module includes a nozzle for each turbine wheel communicating with a manifold within the body of the module. The module also includes a fluid passageway communicating with the manifold and a source of fluid supplied under pressure to a plurality of modules. Each knife blade acts within a slot of a tufting machine hook to cut the loops of yarn as they move thereon.
