A apparatus for manufacturing an object of a folded sheet material has improved slitting, scoring/crushing, gathering, and folding sections or devices. Qualifying means, slitting means, and scoring/crushing means are adjustable with respect to a flat, planer, path of movement so that sheet material moves through the machine without causing the paper to assume an "S" shape, or otherwise suffer loss of paper control. Qualifying means bring within tolerance, sheet which is over thickness. Identifying rollers identify and slightly pre-fold a blank before it enters a gathering and pre-folding section. Novel slitting and scoring heads are easily changed in number or configuration, and have easily replaceable split blades.
