As detailed in Wikipedia’s article titled “Roll Slitting”, this industrial cutting process plays a crucial role in converting large material rolls into narrower, more usable forms for a variety of manufacturing applications. Roll slitting is a shearing operation commonly used in processing materials like plastic films, paper, adhesive tapes, textiles, and foil.

There are two primary types of roll slitting: log slitting and rewind slitting. Log slitting involves slicing directly through the entire roll—referred to as the “log”—without unrolling it. This method typically uses a circular or band saw and is ideal for high-volume cuts where speed and efficiency are key.
