The fabric is fed spirally over the mandrel by rollers 30. within the mandrel, driven by gearing from a motor. These rollers 30 co-operate with rollers 31, outside the mandrel, mounted in adjustable spring-urged bifurcated arms, and with the rollers 31 are set at 45‹ to the axis of the mandrel. A cutting disc 104, preferably of emery, is driven by a motor 102 carried on an arm 100 supported on a rod 101.
