Cutting Device

To a cutting device, comprising a machine frame, a rotatable on the machine frame about a pivot axis anvil with the anvil surface, DOLLAR A one on the machine frame about a pivot axis rotatably mounted cutter with a cooperating with the anvil edge and with supporting rings which are held on the cutting tool and this against supporting the anvil roller with their supporting ring surfaces and / or vice versa, to improve such that the quality of the cutting result can be maintained even under abnutzender cutting edge, it is proposed that the elastic at each supporting ring the diameter of the support ring surface by radial expansion of the supporting ring in the range below a elastic limit of the material of which is adjustable by means of a stretching device.
