Abstract:
1. A debarking apparatus comprising: a cutting body having a cutting surface and a first abutting surface, the cutting body including a first projection projecting from the first abutting surface, the first projection being configured to cooperate with a fastener; and a holding body for removably holding the cutting body, the holding body having a leading surface, a trailing surface, and a second abutting surface, the holding body defining a first recess in the second abutting surface and defining a first opening extending between the first recess and the trailing surface, the second abutting surface being generally complementary to the first abutting surface for removable abutment with the first abutting surface, the first opening being sized to receive the fastener, and the first recess being generally complementary to the first projection to receive therein the first projection in a close surrounding fit when the first abutting surface abuts the second abutting surface; wherein when the first abutting surface abuts the second abutting surface, the cutting surface is exposed for debarking and the fastener is configurable to pass through the first opening and to cooperate with the first projection and with the holding body to hold the first projection in the first recess in a close surrounding fit and to hold the first abutting surface against the second abutting surface.
