rotary blade

Circular cutting edge

A rotary blade is a cutting implement that spins around a central axis rather than moving back and forth.

Rotary blades appear in lawn mowers, food processors, fabric cutters, and industrial machinery.

The circular motion allows continuous cutting without repositioning: The rotary blade sliced through the mat in one smooth pass.
