A sample cutting assembly includes a blade, a base block, an external blade guide, and an internal blade guide. The cutter can be used to conveniently remove samples for material testing to determine serviceability or material condition. Apparatuses and techniques for using the sample cutting assembly are also disclosed.

A blade-protecting sheath is configured to protect a cutting blade of an ultrasonic cutting system. The blade-protecting sheath includes a main body having a first end and an opposite second end, a blade-receiving channel formed through the first end, and a nut-retention chamber connected to the blade-receiving channel. The nut-retention chamber is defined by interior planar walls that are configured to receive and constrain a nut of the ultrasonic cutting system. A blade slot is connected to the nut-retention chamber. The cutting blade is configured to pass into the blade slot and be secured within a blade chamber.

A cutting torch guide assembly for cutting beveled openings includes a first rod that is hollow. A first sleeve is positioned around and slidably positionable on the first rod. A pin is coupled to and extends perpendicularly from the first sleeve. The pin is configured to couple to a metal substrate to define an axis of a penetration that is to be cut into the metal substrate. A second rod is positioned in and selectively extensible from the first rod. The first sleeve is positionable to select a diameter of the penetration on an opposing side of the metal substrate. The second rod is positionable relative to the first rod to select a thickness of the metal substrate. A ring coupled to the second rod is configured to insert a nozzle of a cutting torch so that the nozzle is positioned to cut a beveled penetration into the substrate.

A cutting portion (cutting device) includes a fixed blade that extends in an intersecting direction (X axis direction) intersected with a transport direction transporting a roll paper, and a round blade that cuts the roll paper by relatively moving in the intersecting direction (X axis direction) with respect to the fixed blade in a state of being abutted on the fixed blade, in which the fixed blade extends over a portion of a range where the round blade relatively moves, and the round blade is in a separation state of being separated from the fixed blade in the transport direction when entering a region facing the fixed blade (cutting operation region) from a region not facing the fixed blade (standby region).

A combination printer and cutting device for printing upon and cutting a web of media or tag stock into individual units. The device may cut vinyl, plastic, or RFID stock material as it moves through the printer in both back and forth directions. The device comprises a printer and a cutting apparatus that is further comprised of a carriage assembly and a movable cutter assembly. The cutter assembly is easily interchangeable and comprises a cutting element such as a wheel blade, and a pressure adjusting element for adjusting the amount of pressure applied by the cutting element to the stock material. Alternatively, the cutter assembly may be manufactured with a predetermined pressure load, but still permit an operator to adjust the depth of cut. The cutting apparatus is adaptable for use with both new and existing printers.

A cutting guide includes a customized measuring tape and adjustable measurement guide. The customized measuring tape is calibrated to account for a typical default displacement from an edge of the cutting guide to a blade of a cutting device positioned next to the edge of the cutting guide. As the distance between the cutting blade and the edge of the cutting guide varies between different cutting devices, the measurement dial is adjustable to account for a difference between the default distance and a particular distance between a particular cutting blade of a particular cutting device and the edge of the cutting guide.

A collapsible horizontal vegetable processor comprises a base (1) and a cutter frame holder (13). The cutter frame holder is detachably provided with a replaceable cutter frame (2). The base is provided with a sliding rail mechanism. The base comprises a fixed portion (11) and a collapsible portion (12). The cutter frame holder (13) is arranged on one side of the fixed portion, and the collapsible portion is arranged on the other side of the fixed portion. The sliding rail mechanism is slidably provided with a sliding seat (4). The sliding seat is provided with a sliding seat frame body (5) and a handle (6). Pressing teeth (51) used to fix vegetables and a rotating operation device (52) are arranged at the top of the sliding seat frame body. The sliding seat is driven by the handle to move on the sliding rail mechanism. The base of the vegetable processor is collapsible, thereby greatly reducing an occupied space.
