A device for processing a flexible sheet includes a worktop for placement thereon of a flexible sheet to be processed, a processing means provided above the worktop and positioning means for positioning the processing means on the flexible sheet and moving it along a straight processing line in the plane of the flexible sheet. The device also includes orientation means for setting the orientation of the processing line as desired.

A device for manufacturing a chopped fiber bundle includes a cutter roll provided with one or more disk blades on a circumference of a roll core having a center axis coinciding with a rotation axis of the roll core and a nip roll provided in parallel with the rotation axis of the roll core, to feed a reinforcing fiber yarn to be continuously cut between the nip roll and the cutter roll, further including a rotary drive mechanism that rotates the cutter roll and at least one of: a reciprocating drive mechanism that reciprocates the cutter roll along the rotation axis of the roll core; and a traverse guide that traverses the reinforcing fiber yarn along the rotation axis of the roll core.
