An apparatus is provided for shearing a metallic belt from which electrodes of electric accumulators are formed. The apparatus includes a cutting device able to shear a metallic belt advancing along a sliding path, a first slider positioned upstream of the cutting device and a second slider positioned downstream of the cutting device. A handling system drives the first slider and the second slider cyclically with corresponding outward and return strokes, in order to change the length of the sliding path in such a way as to stop cyclically successive portions of the metallic belt at the cutting device, maintaining constant the advancement velocity of the metallic belt upstream and downstream of the cutting device.
