ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for cutting piled fabric sections such as carpet tiles is provided. The apparatus comprises a frame, a bending assembly for bending pile elements away from the normal substantially vertical orientation with respect to the base of the fabric along a line to be cut, at least one cutting blade for cutting the fabric through a portion of the bent piling elements and fabric base and power assemblies for powering the bending and cutting operations. The related method comprises the steps of bending the pile elements downward toward the fabric base along a line to be cut and thereafter cutting through the bent piling elements and fabric base to form a two-sided cut. Such method shears piling elements adjacent to one side of the cut while leaving the pile elements adjacent to the other side of the cut substantially unaltered.
