Abstract
The present invention provides an ice shaver with a modular, thermally-isolated and removable shave disc that carries a blade and secures the blade relative to a frame and a column pressing an ice block against the blade. The shave disc is positioned opposite a spike plate and receives the ice block thereon. The shave disc is modular with an upper metal slip disc upon which the ice block rotates, and a lower plastic isolation pad that carries the metal disc and isolates the slip disc from the frame of the ice shaver. The isolation plate can carry the blade and the blade can extend therefrom through a slot in the slip disc. The shave disc, with the isolation pad, the blade and the slip disc, can be retained in a shave deck of the frame of the ice shaver and removed without tools for ease of cleaning.
