Abstract: A rotary folder includes two cutting devices for cross-cutting at least a first web. The cutting devices are cutting or counter cylinders that can rotate together and that define gaps in conjunction with a conveying cylinder. A path of web conveyance runs through each of these gaps. The conveying cylinder or the cutting cylinders support at least one blade for cutting of a product from the webs. The conveying cylinder comprises a retaining device for retaining a cut-off signature and for conveying the signature through the respective gap. The conveying cylinder or the counter cylinders comprise thrust bearings that interact with the blade.
