Abstract: A paper salvage attachment assembly of a paper cutter utilizes a horizontally reciprocable infeed conveyor assembly having an endless conveyor belt which fees bound products to a position beneath the cutting blade of a paper cutter assembly. An outfeed conveyor and stop bar assembly supports the bound product during severance of the spine from the found product. An adjustably positionable stop bar assembly is used to position the vertically reciprocable stop bar at a point downstream of the cutting blade to properly position the bound product so that only its spine will be severed. As the spine is out, the infeed conveyor assembly is retracted away from the paper cutter so that the severed spine may fall through the thus created gap and onto a scrap take away conveyor.
