Dicer

A 'dicer' is an individual or machine that cuts or chops food or other materials into small, uniform pieces, often cubic in shape. This process is known as 'dicing'. dicer refers to the tool used to execute this cut. The resulting product may vary from perfect cubes to more irregular pieces depending on the mechanism's design and the material being diced.

The design of a dicer varies greatly depending on the scale of operations, the materials being diced and the output needed. Small dicers are used domestically to help in food preparation and large commercial dicers are used in food factories.
