When the rotary shaft 5 is further rotated in the opposite direction (indicated by a dotted arrow in the figure), the driven shaft 17 is reversely rotated by the bevel gears 16a and 16b, the driven lever 18 is reversely rotated, and the arm 19 is moved in the side plate 2 direction. Then, the pressing body 12 is extruded through the connecting plate 21 toward the cutting blade block 11 side. The lump vegetables M on the vegetable support 25 are pressed against the cutting blade block 11 by the pressing body 12 to cut the outer periphery, and the protrusions 29 of the pressing body 12 are pushed into the cutting blade block 11 to form a barrel-shaped lump vegetable. M is divided into triangular prism-shaped divided pieces 30. The divided small piece 30 is continuously pushed by the protruding projection 29 and is discharged to the outside through the cutting block mounting base 14. On the other hand, the chips on the outer periphery of the lumpy vegetables M hit the cutting blade block mounting base 14 and fall inside the side plate 2 as they are to be removed and collected. The divided small pieces 30 taken out of the machine are finished into a shut in the finishing step (3) below. The spring 23 hung between the driven lever 18 and the arm 19 presses the floating of the tip of the arm 19 when the arm 19 moves to the side plate 2 side by the reverse rotation of the driven lever 18, and the pressing body 12 slides smoothly.
