Special Roller Cutter
This is a special prototype cutter I made at work (my trade). Simple but yet very time consuming. The shaft is 304 Stainless with a couple bearing diameters, mounted in Acetal plastic. All the fins have been lazer cut out of .7 Stainless sheet. Very simple to manufacture till we had to use the slitting saw which was also .7. We hoped it would cut slightly undersize in the plastic for the blades to press in, it did. We thought a 10mm deep cut would be easy in the plastic. The bastard flexed, veered of and snapped in half......lucky that was in the test piece. So we ended up with 2 @ 5mm cuts and didn't have an issue. Every 7 degrees for 700mm long. Anyway its all finished and works a treat.
Now everytime you have a balfours Apple Danish, you will know how the mesh pastry on top is formed.

Nice work. It's good to know that I'm not the only one skilled at snapping thin cutters with DOCs that are too deep.
But wait a minute - 7 degrees does not divide evenly into 360 degree!
Those apple pastries are going to be irregular!

CNC machining centre or a manual mill and dividing head?
Light red, the colour of choice for the discerning man.

I used to get called in to the Sunikrust bakery at 4 and 5 am. I always went home with a loaf of bread and some rolls fresh out of the oven for breakfast and lunch.
It really smelt good in there when they were baking the raisin bread.
Nice job on the cutter Seymore but this thread is making me hungry.
