Abstract: An apparatus and system for cutting hose includes structure which allows a portion of the hose that is proximate the trailing side of a cutting blade to be angularly displaced during cutting while a portion of the hose proximate the leading side of the cutting blade is not angularly displaced. A method for cutting hose includes the step of angularly displacing a portion of the hose that is proximate the trailing side of a cutting blade during cutting while a portion of the hose proximate the leading side of the cutting blade is not angularly displaced.
