Abstract
The blade guide invention relates to devices employed in bread slicing machines to guide band blades. Mounting to increase cutting accuracy and providing for increased life and reduced tendency to seize the band blades is achieved by a blade guide (11) with body, guide and attachment portions (16, 17, 18) formed in a unitary construction. The guide portion includes spaced apart prongs (19, 21, 22) with improved wear surfaces (24, 31a, 31b) forming a channel (36a) for the band blade.
