Abstract
A method and apparatus for cutting bread is disclosed. The apparatus includes a conveyor which conveys bread through a positioner to a circular, vertically disposed, rotatably mounted cutting blade. The positioner positions the bread with respect to the cutting blade to control the size and configuration of the pieces of bread cut by the cutting blade. A displacement member separates the upper portions of the cut pieces of bread, thus causing the pieces to separate and drop downwardly with the cut face of each piece of bread facing upwardly.
