It says above that the cutter assembly can be taken out. Anyone know how to do that?

You have to turn the handle where it attaches to the sharpener. It is quite easy to get to and clean when necessary.

There is a plastic ring/collar at the base of the handle, with the face in your left hand, turn the collar towards you and pull out the cutting assembly with handle.

It's very easy. Just twist the knurled lock ring around the crank and it slides out. Presto!

I just took apart mine. There's two screws on the sides for the bottom section, two on top in the handle and one on the bottom on the bottom section. Takes those out then just force it apart. It's hard to force apart, but that's the only way.Sorry for the year late reply

It is ment to ungam the cutter blades. There is a place in the center of the bottom to insert it. Turn the wrench ether way and it should start again.

I would use a chop saw, that would do the trick nicely. I had to drill into mine and used a drill bit with a point on it - worked fine.

There is a tool that you can use to get the blade out, it came w/the machine. I find I still have to search for the blade which tears the bread up. The instructions mention to grease the blade before putting it on the post. I DON'T do this. That way the blade will stay on the post when I tip the bread out of the pan. It is easy to remove the blade from the post after soaking in soap and water. If it still doesn't come off the post, you can twist the blade off by holding the blade and twisting it opposite directions with the silver thing on the outside of the pan on the bottom. Hope this helps. There is a tool that you can use to get the blade out, it came w/the machine. I find I still have to search for the blade which tears the bread up.

Pull it strongly to remove. NEVER drill, there's a thread for the air coupler

No, the actual slicing part is not remove able. Only the black plastic handle comes off.

Absolutely remove the blade. Once you remove the center piece, with the large black knob on the back of the machine, three screws is all it takes to remove the blade. You will be glad you did it when see just how easy it is.

You unscrew the whole top; it will come off in two pieces. Place the blade between the pieces and screw it back together. It is quite easy to do. Hope this helps!

I've taken it apart for a move before. It's not terribly straightforward but with a power drill I disassembled it in under an hour.

All you need to do is unscrew the handle. It's what holds the top together, then change out the blade. It took me a while to figure it out. The whole thing is really simple.

Yes. You can interchange the cutter. Take off the front wing nuts (and washers) and the cutter will come right off.

The wheel assembly can be removed. It is factory-mounted on the trimmer with 2 Phillips side screws + 2 top screws.

The only way I think you could do that is if you put a sacrificial piece of wood mounted to the piece to screw to the head stock and then cut it off. I would not recommend that though. Best to use the right tools, you always get better results.BTW, this is a great little lathe, I've used it for over a year now. No issues. First one shipped damaged, no issue with the return and shipment of another.

You can unscrew the ends and remove the horizontal bars. The curved pieces that come out, where you screw the bars into, are welded and can't be removed.

You need to pull out the part holding the blade, then twist it, and pull the blade out

The opposite side of the button (bottom side) where the cutter is slides off. hold with cutter up, squeeze whole assembly tight and separate in a downward pull to open the opener.
