A whetting device for a slicer has a whetstone for sharpening a circular blade of the slicer; a hone for deburring the blade; a handle for moving the whetstone or hone toward the blade; a mount fastenable to a stop plate of the slicer, having an insertion apparatus for form-fittingly insertion into the stop plate, a U-shaped plate receptacle which has a gap for introducing the stop plate into the gap when the whetting device is pushed onto the stop plate; a receptacle for engaging around an end of the blade guard ring when the stop plate is a predetermined distance from the circular in the direction of rotation of the blade, and not to engage when shorter than that distance between; and a frame covering a cutting edge of the circular blade and for pivoting the whetting device into a working position.

A whetting device is for a slicer. The whetting device has: a whetstone that sharpens a circular blade of the slicer; a hone that deburrs the circular blade; a handle that moves the whetstone or the hone toward the circular blade; and a mount for fastening to a stop plate of the slicer. The mount has an insertion apparatus for being form-fittingly inserted into the stop plate. The mount having a U-shaped plate receptacle, which has a gap for introducing the stop plate into the gap in when the whetting device is pushed onto the stop plate. The insertion apparatus has a lug for engaging in an recess in the stop plate, or the stop plate has the lug for engaging in the recess in the insertion apparatus.

The machine includes a feeding path for the logs to be cut and a cutting head arranged along the feeding path. The cutting head includes a coupling for a disc-shaped cutting blade and is designed to impart the disc-shaped cutting blade a rotary motion around the axis thereof and a cyclic movement to cut the logs into single rolls, and to allow the logs to move forward along the feeding path. The machine also includes at least a grinding unit, including at least one grinding wheel mounted onto a rotation shaft and co-acting with a side of the disc-shaped cutting blade to grind the cutting edge of the same disc-shaped cutting blade. A controlled approach system is also provided to move the grinding wheel towards the disc-shaped cutting blade.

A grinding- and polishing tool in combination, comprising a stave which has an edge-treatment side comprising a primary treatment area covering a part of its length, and which in the length direction of the stave is followed by an adjoining secondary treatment area covering another part of the length of the stave. The treatment areas are oriented at intersecting planes such that an intermediate angle between adjoining primary and secondary treatment areas is other than 180°. Also disclosed are a tool assembly, an attachment for a food slicer machine, and a method, all of which are unique implementations of the combined grinding- and polishing tool.

A device for sharpening edges of knives or other cutting tools with preferably a non-linear course has a mount for fixing the knife, at least one measuring device and at least one grinder. In a method of operating this device, a knife is clamped in a mount and initially the course of the edge by comparison with a predetermined cam disc is determined and then a difference from the predetermined cam disc profile is calculated on that basis and the sharpening process correspondingly regulated.

A food processing machine includes a head extending over a bowl receiving location, the head including an output shaft driven in a planetary manner. A food processing assembly is mounted below the head and includes a drive assembly for converting planetary motion of the output shaft to a rotational motion of a food processing tool drive shaft about a stationary shaft axis. The food processing assembly includes a food processing tool that can be removed.
