A fabric delivering device which has a fabric supplying roll cooperative with a feeding device which delivers fabric strip material to a tire building drum with the centerline of the fabric aligned with the vertical median centerline of the drum. A centering device cooperates with the feeding device to center the fabric which is picked up by a plurality of spaced pins that retain the orientation of the fabric material as it is fed to the tire building drum.

Bias cutting of rubberized fabric material having high strength material embedded therein, wherein a carriage is reciprocated on a support frame, which frame may be adjusted angularly to determine the bias angle of cut. A cutter support is mounted on the carriage for movement therewith. Such cutter support journals for rotation a shaft that supports on one end a rotating cutter mounted off-center. The cutter cooperates with an anvil carried by the cutter support to shear the fabric material. A guide is located adjacent to the anvil for supporting the anvil. Such guide supports material that moves over it. Upon completion of the cut the cutter, anvil and its supporting framework is pivoted out of the way to permit the indexing of the material and the return of the cutter and anvil during such indexing to the starting position in preparation for the succeeding cutting operation.

A cutter support is mounted on the carriage for movement therewith. Such cutter support journals for rotation a shaft that supports on one end a rotating cutter with a plurality of circumferentially spaced linear cutting edges that cooperate with an anvil carried by the cutter support to shear the fabric material. A guide is located adjacent to the anvil over which the fabric material is to travel and under which the conveyor belt moves. Upon completion of the cut, the cutter, anvil and its supporting framework is pivoted out of the way to permit the indexing of the material and the return of the cutter and anvil during such indexing to the starting position in preparation for the succeeding cutting operation.

A tire truing machine that has a continuously orbiting band saw moving across a tool guide that has a plurality of adjustable guide members that can be shaped to the profile of the tire to be trued or contoured to a preexisting cam profile with the cumulative guide members defining an arcuately shaped recess or guide which positions the cutting edge of a band saw adjacent to the tread of a pneumatic tire in a precise profile control. The tire is chucked and rotated as the band saw operates on the tread surface or portions thereof to the profile set or adjusted.
