A food cutting assembly for cutting a food item into a plurality of cubes includes a stand that may be positioned on a support surface. A box is coupled to the stand and a drawer is slidably positioned within the box. A plurality of cutting units is provided. A selected one of the cutting units is removably coupled to the box. The selected cutting unit may have a food item placed thereon and the selected cutting unit selectively cuts the food item. A press is movably coupled to the stand. The press is urged downwardly toward the selected cutting unit to press the food item through the selected cutting unit. Thus, the selected cutting unit cuts the food item.

A chopping apparatus for chopping a food item has a lower body portion and an upper body portion hinged together such that a hinge axis is perpendicular to the longitudinal directions of the body portions. Blades are supported on the upper body portion opposite a supporting surface on the lower body portion so as to be arranged to chop a food item supported on the supporting surface when the body portions are closed towards one another. The blades include lateral blades that are oriented perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction of the body portions and generally parallel to the hinge axis.

A cutting station includes a plurality of actuator driven cutting blades for separating seals which have been formed as a mat of connected individual seals. The cutting station also includes a plurality of actuator driven pins which bear against and break away a runner portion of the mat thus freeing the individual seals.

A food processing system includes a base and an actuator that is releasably mounted to the base. The actuator may have an unactuated position and an actuated position. Numerous accessories each may be individually and interchangeably mountable to and releasable from at least one of the base and the actuator. Each attachment may perform a food processing function when the actuator is moved from the unactuated position to the actuated position.

The present invention is a cast iron pipe cutter. The cast iron pipe cutter includes a movable upper cutting tool and a rigid lower cutting tool. The upper cutting tool and lower cutting tool includes multiple cutting disc spaced an arc length apart. As the upper cutting tool is advanced downward by a hydraulic press, the cutting discs apply increasing pressure to the outer surface of a cast iron pipe until each cutting discs in the upper cutting tool and the lower cutting tool creates a fracture in the cast iron pipe. The multiple fractures created by the cutting discs amalgamate into a single fracture and the cast iron pipe is cut almost instantaneously.
