A web cut-off assembly for a rewinder apparatus includes a bedroll having a
pair of retractable bedroll blades that move to a protracted position to
engage the web material for a web cutting event. A chopper roll is
disposed proximate to the bedroll and includes a first blade and a second
blade extending from a circumference thereof. The first and second blades
rotationally intermeshing with the bedroll blades in the web cutting
event. The second blade is configured to effectively stretch and hold the
web relative to the bedroll blades as the first blade severs the web in
the web cutting process.
