A bread slicer adaptable for slicing loaves of elongated "French," or "Italian" bread into substantially uniform pieces. The end cuts from the loaves are removed from the slicer separately from the desired, uniform center pieces. Circular saw blades, of the cross-cut variety, function as the slicing means, and two sets of elastically compressible rollers are utilized (1) to maintain the loaves in contact with conveying means as they pass through the saw blades and, (2) to prevent the blades from randomly kicking the pieces off the conveyor belts at varying rates and in different directions.
