Abstract
An apparatus for honing in place the endless blades of a band-type slicer for buns and similar bakery goods. The honing apparatus has a pair of independently adjustable hones mounted on a common actuator so that the hones will simultaneously engage both sides of the cutting edge of the endless blade as it passes between the hones. The apparatus also uses a helical cam arrangement that advances and retracts the hones during the honing operation to lengthen the life of the hones and also to provide a more accurate honing as the hones and blades wear. Because of the mounting arrangement and the independent adjustability of the hones, the apparatus can be attached to and used with any of the various bun slicing machines that are presently commerically available.
