Abstract: The invention relates to a machine for cutting of armoured or reinforced hose (3) and particularly steel armoured hydraulic hose (3). The machine is characterized by, that a frame part (13) is firmed attached to a rotable center part (9). The frame part (13) supports a movable cutting device (15), which includes a cutting wheel (17) and a motor (16). The position of the cutting device in relation to a hose, which is intended to be cut, is regulated by means of a motor (24) via a screw (25). Furthermore a movable sensor device or element (21) is arranged, which indicates the position and the wear of the cutting wheel (17) during a cutting operation. The frame part (13) also supports a movable guillotine knife (26). During a cutting operation the center part (9) and the frame part (13) are brought in rotation by means of a cog wheel transmission (10), a cog wheel (12) and a motor (11).
