Pretty simple--basically, it draws the tape over a carbide or ceramic 
blade and scrapes loose surface oxide off; pads wipe both sides of the 
tape.  Usually, you can program this to do multiple cycles, measure out 
BOT/EOT placement, etc.  Can be very handy at times--most data centers 
had them.

Mine also has a vacuum system that draws the tape over a perforated 
grating and collects the yuck.  Fast and slow speeds.
