Abstract: In a method and machine for slicing articles of food and the like, the articles pass by gravity through generally vertical, spaced apart pairs of feed tubes mounted on a support structure. A table and rotary blade are arranged for oscillation between and past the spaced apart feed tubes, the table forming a stop surface for positioning the articles with the rotary blade slicing through the article positioned by the table. The table is adjustable relative to the blade for controlling slice thickness. The rotary blade and table are cantilevered from a single bearing shaft permitting oscillation of both units by a cam motor assembly and height adjustment of the table by a manual jack. Tripod support for the entire unit is provided by the bearing shaft and two adjustable legs.
