A system, apparatus and method for cutting battery grids or plates from a continuous strip of a plurality of connected battery grids. The continuous strip moves toward a rotating cutter with at least two cutter blades with cutting edges equally circumferentially spaced apart and extending parallel to the cutter axis of rotation and a rotating cooperating anvil. The cutting edges and the anvil are rotated at the same tangential speed to cut in a nip between them a plate or grid from the continuous strip of connected grids. At a point upstream of the cutter, an electric signal indicative of each lug of the grid of the continuous strip moving past this point is used to control the speed of movement of the strip through the nip to cut a plate or grid from the continuous strip at a longitudinal speed which is essentially the same as the tangential speed of the cutting edges.

Systems and methods for downsizing tires are disclosed. An automated downsizing apparatus comprises a cradle, mandrel table, cutting apparatus, and a control unit. A tire mounted on the cradle may be received by the movable and rotatable mandrel table, and positioned for engagement with the cutting apparatus.
