Abstract
A rod cutter having two cutters that are exchangeable and with one thereof being operatively stationary and the other being pivotally and with cutting edges therebetween. A cover extends over the cutters so that access to the cutters is available, and they can be interchanged in their installed positions to reposition the cutting edges exposed to the rod. A ball bearing supports the pivotal cutter and it has an axial restriction for rendering axial support to the pivotal cutter. The method of cutting with both radial and axial cutter support is described.
