A blade assembly includes a blade support frame, and a plurality of V-shaped blades removably fastened to the blade support frame. The blade support frame has a food flow path extending downstream, and a plurality of blade mounts distributed around the food flow path. Each V-shaped blade has a first end portion connected to one of the blade mounts, a second end portion connected to another of the blade mounts, and an intermediate portion extending from the first end portion to the second end portion into the food flow path. At the first and second end portions of each V-shaped blade, a respective one of the blade mounts overlies both the upstream edge and the downstream edge of the V-shaped blade to inhibit the V-shaped blade from rotating when impacted by food.

A slicing disc assembly includes a disc body having a top surface, a bottom surface, a central hub, a circumferential edge, a first opening in the disc body between the central hub and the circumferential edge, and a second opening in the disc body between the central hub and the circumferential edge, an adjustable horizontal slicing blade associated with the first opening, the horizontal slicing blade being moveable in a direction perpendicular to the top surface of the disc body, and an adjustable vertical blade assembly associated with the second opening. The vertical blade assembly is moveable between a first position where a slicing element of the vertical blade assembly is located below a plane defined by the top surface of the disc body, and a second position where the slicing element of the vertical blade assembly extends above the plane.

A slitter according to an embodiment of the present art includes: an upper knife disposed above the electrode plate to rotate, thereby cutting the electrode plate; and a lower knife disposed below the electrode plate to partially overlap the upper knife and rotate, thereby cutting the electrode plate together with the upper knife, wherein the upper knife includes: a first inner surface extending to be inclined from a tip formed at the lowermost end to the lower knife; and an outer circumferential surface extending to be inclined from the tip to an opposite side of the lower knife, wherein the first inner surface has an inclination at a first angle from a vertical line V that is perpendicular to a rotation axis that serves as a rotation center of the upper knife, and the outer circumferential surface has an inclination at a second angle from the vertical line.

The invention relates to nickel-coated hexagonal boron nitride nanosheet composite powder, its preparation and high-performance composite ceramic cutting tool material. The composite powder has a core-shell structure with BNNS as the core and Ni as the shell. The self-lubricating ceramic cutting tool material is prepared by wet ball milling mixing and vacuum hot-pressing sintering with a phase alumina as the matrix, tungsten-titanium carbide as the reinforcing phase, nickel-coated hexagonal boron nitride nanosheet composite powder as the solid lubricant and magnesium oxide and yttrium oxide as the sintering aids. The invention also provides preparation methods of the nickel-coated hexagonal boron nitride nanosheet composite powder and the self-lubricating ceramic cutting tool material.

A crafting apparatus that performs work on a workpiece is disclosed. The workpiece includes, for example, an edible foodstuff material. In an embodiment, the edible foodstuff material includes nutritional value and is consumable by, for example, human beings, animals or the like.

A cemented carbide includes a first hard phase and a binder phase. The first hard phase is composed of tungsten carbide grains. The binder phase includes cobalt and nickel as constituent elements. An arbitrary surface or arbitrary cross section of the cemented carbide has: a region R1 interposed between an interface between the tungsten carbide grains and the binder phase and an imaginary line A; a region R2 interposed between the imaginary line A and an imaginary line B; and a region R3 other than the region R1 and R2. When a line analysis is performed in a range including the region R1 and the region R3 adjacent to the region R1 with the region R2, a ratio C.sub.5/C.sub.20 of a maximum atomic concentration C.sub.5 at % of cobalt in the region R1 and a maximum atomic concentration C.sub.20 at % of cobalt in the region R3 is more than 1.

A cutting apparatus and a cutting device are disclosed including a modular insert arranged at least partially in a housing cavity, in which the modular insert includes a cutting element for performing a vertical or oblique cut and an abutting block which is interchangeable and couplable with the cutting element to fix a total dimension of the modular insert, in which an abutting face of the abutting block abuts on a back wall of the housing cavity so that a rear end of the cutting element is spaced away from the back wall. An assembly method is disclosed for assembling the aforesaid device including the steps of providing a plurality of interchangeable abutting blocks and of choosing an abutting block between the plurality of interchangeable abutting blocks on the basis of a desired total dimension of the modular insert.

The utility model discloses a cutting assembly for a vegetable cutter and a hand-held electric vegetable cutter, which falls within the field of vegetable cutting appliances. The cutting assembly for a vegetable cutter of the utility model comprises a cup body and a cutting disc, wherein the cutting disc is axially mounted in a cutter disc mounting cavity by an upper end of the cup body, the outer periphery of the cutting disc is supported on a limiting step, and a rotation connecting portion is provided at the center of the cutting disc so that the cutting disc can axially rotate in the cup body. In the cutting assembly for a vegetable cutter and the hand-held electric vegetable cutter of the utility model, the cutting disc thereof is supported in the cup body via the limiting step, and is axially and rotatably matched with the cup body, so that the cutting disc rotates smoothly and reliably in the cup body, and the assembly and disassembly thereof are simple and convenient, and the cleaning of the cutting disc and the cup body is easy, which effectively solves the problem that the existing cutter disc type cutting assembly tends to harbor dirt and scale. In addition, the necking structure is adopted in the discharging port of the cup body, so that the chopped food ingredients can be gathered towards the middle, facilitating the centralized discharge of food ingredients after being chopped, and effectively solving the problem of food ingredients splashing.

A cutter is provided for cutting through obstructions disposed in the interior of pipes ranging in size from approximately 8″ to approximately 15″ in diameter or from approximately 12″ to approximately 24″ in diameter. The cutter has been reduced in size relative to known root cutters to be capable of being used with smaller-diameter pipes, but is sufficiently powerful to cut through obstructions, such as mineral deposits, for example, that known flexible cutters capable of being used with these smaller-diameter pipes are incapable of cutting through.
