Positions of the first and second drive shafts are changeable in the web winder. A changeover device changes over winding of a web wound about the first spindle to winding about the second spindle. A cutting drum is disposed on a first side with respect to a web path of the web, and has a cutter for cutting the web in a width direction thereof.

A drum support arm supports the cutting and receiving drums in a rotatable manner and in a manner of contacting drum peripheral surfaces of the cutting and receiving drums on each other.
