Abstract: A hose cutter (10) is disclosed comprising a rotatable blade mechanism (20) anchored at one of a plurality of anchor stations to vertically-oriented, spaced-apart support plates (12, 14) having corresponding hose support openings (96, 98, 100, 102, 104) cut therein. Rotatable blade mechanism (20) is translatable in corresponding U-shaped slots between anchor stations. At a particular anchor station (A or B), a rotatable anchor arm (22 or 24) locks the pivoted fastening joint (38) of rotatable blade mechanism (20) into the relevant set of vertical legs of the corresponding U-shaped slots. With a hose inserted into one set of the corresponding support openings, the blade mechanism (20) may be rotated to cut the hose.
