Claim 0:
1. A cutting mechanism for cutting a produce product traveling along a feed belt having a linear velocity, the cutting mechanism comprising:
a drum member attached to a motor, the cutting mechanism further comprising a cutting blade which moves in a circular path offset from a rotational center of the drum member, wherein the cutting blade is moved about the circular path such that the cutting blade approaches the feed belt along a y axis, makes a cut in the produce product, instantaneously travels along an x axis, and is raised up from the circular path for another rotation, wherein the cutting blade makes a single cut in the produce product in each complete rotation of the drum member, wherein a desired length of a cut segment of the produce product is determined by an angular velocity of the cutting blade relative to the linear velocity of the feed belt.
