Abstract
A julienne cutter tool and method of making are described, the cutter being intended for use in rotary food processing apparatus of the type having an upright working bowl with a vertical motor-driven tool shaft extending up into the bowl. The julienne cutter has a hub engageable with said tool shaft for rotating a horizontal disc-like member carrying a primary blade horizontally positioned at an elevated location above the upper surface of said disc member and extending from a smaller radius region to a larger radius region. An opening defined by said disc member permits the food material which has been cut by said primary blade to move downwardly through the disc member, and a plurality of individual radially-spaced secondary blades located in said opening in respective planes perpendicular to said primary blade neatly slice the food material into julienne strips. These secondary blades are formed by slitting a strip of sheet blade metal for providing a plurality of tabs integrally attached to a planer base portion of the blade strip and then bending each tab perpendicular to the plane of said base portion and sharpening each tab, said base portion being attached to said disc member with said sharpened tabs extending into said opening for providing the secondary blades.
