A machine including a feeding group or station, a first rotative cutting or creasing station, a second rotative cutting or creasing station and a rotative stripping station characterized by a single drive motor driving the various rotating tools of the stations and a feed roll of the feeding station. Each of the first and second stations and the stripping station have a frame with two lateral frame members with each of the lateral frame members having a groove for receiving bearing blocks for the upper and lower rotatable tools and one of the frame members of each groove mounts a drive pinion in a fixed position relative to the groove and in driving engagement with a gear on the shaft of the lower tool. Each of the bearing blocks have the same outer dimensions with the axis of the tool being positioned in the bearing block depending on the size of the tool so that by changing tools, the gears of the tools always engage the same drive pinion. To insure synchronization between the various groups or stations having rotatable tools, the motor drives the pinion for one station which pinion in turn is connected by a gear train to the adjacent rotatable tool station which in turn is connected by a gear train to the stripping station. In addition, the driven first pinion is connected by a drive train to a differential for driving the feed roll which differential receives a signal for correcting registration.
