A cutter assembly for a rotary, shear-type shredder including a cutting-tool carrier having a body possessing a rotational axis, a shear cutting tool, and a generally radial, sliding-friction-type, heat-cycle, binding interface removably anchoring the tool to the carrier body. This assembly is made by (a) forming a projection on one of the tool and the carrier, (b) forming a generally complementary, projection-receiving void space in the other of the tool and the carrier, whereby the projection and the void space nominally have an interference-fit relationship relative to one another, (c) creating a temperature differential between the tool and the carrier to an extent producing a clearance-fit relationship therebetween, (d) following that creating, fitting the projection snugly inside the void space, (e) reducing the created temperature differential toward zero, and (f) thereby establishing a robust, linear-sliding-friction anchoring interface between the tool and the carrier.
A cutter assembly for a rotary, shear-type shredder comprising
A shredder cutter assembly comprising
In a cutter assembly for a rotary, shear-type shredder where the cutter assembly includes, as at least two components, a rotary, cutting-tool carrier, and a cutting tool, the combination comprising
A method for removably anchoring a cutting tool to a cutting-tool carrier employable in a rotary, shear-type shredder, comprising
A post-and-socket, heat-cycle-implemented, reversible, linear-sliding-friction, binding-interface mounting for a cutting tool on the periphery of a rotary tool carrier employable in a rotary, shear-type, steel-belted-tire-capable shredder.
