Abstract

A rotary conical cutter lies adjacent to the lower edge of a food-retaining hopper to grate, shred or slice food in the hopper. Cut food enters the center of the cutter through openings defined by cutting edges which project from the conical wall in the cutter. A set of interchangeable such cutters have cutting portions with cutting edges which project different distances from their cutter axes and from their respective walls. The lower edge of the hopper is movable to vary its distance from the cutter cones, and retaining means are provided for holding the lower edge of the hopper at an adjusted position proximate to the path of the cutting edges of the cutting portions.
