Abstract
A low profile peripheral cutter (18) with stick blades (6). The cutter has a cutter body (30) and a flexible clamping disk (20) to clamp all blades. The flexible clamping disc includes a slot (24) between each cutting blade (6) in order to provide a plurality of blade clamping web wings (26) each of which acts like a deflection beam to hold the blades in position. Preferably, each web wing (26) covers one stick blade (6) and each web wing has two contacting pads (36, 38) to press each blade into its seating surface (44, 46) thereby holding the blade in position.
