Abstract
An apparatus and method for cutting and threading a sheet of material is described. The apparatus can facilitate the transfer of a sheet from a sheet forming machine to a processing machine, and can halt the feeding of sheet material to the processing machine. When the processing machine is ready to receive more sheet material, the apparatus cuts the sheet and feeds the newly formed sheet to the processing machine.
