Abstract
A cutter for cutting a laminated sheet such as tapes or the like or for shaping or chamfering tape end into various rounded configurations, a method of making such a cutter and an apparatus for shaping and cutting tape end. A sheet metal is worked to form integrally stationary and movable cutting blade which are connected to each other through a pair of connectors. A gap is formed between a stationary cutting edge of the stationary cutting blade and a movable cutting edge of the movable cutting blade. When a resistance force is exerted between the stationary and movable cutting blade on cutting self-adhesive tape with release paper, the resisting force is counteracted by a tensile strength in the connectors and a buckling strength in flexible portions such that the proper gap between the stationary and movable cutting edges will not be changed by the resisting force.
