The Robot Coupe 27346 is a genuine replacement blade carrying a coarse serrated edge, made specifically for use with the R401, R402, and R402 VV variable-speed food processors. As a direct-fit part from Robot Coupe, it is not an aftermarket alternative — it is the correct component for restoring the machine to its intended performance standard.The coarse serrated profile is suited to ingredients that need a more positive cut: firm root vegetables, cooked meats, hard cheeses, and similarly dense products where a smooth blade can drag or compress rather than cut cleanly. Blade condition has a direct bearing on the consistency of chopped or processed ingredients, and a worn or damaged blade tends to show in the finished product before it shows anywhere else. Keeping a spare blade in the kitchen means a straightforward swap during prep rather than disrupted service. Genuine Robot Coupe part — correct fit and safe operation guaranteed Coarse serrated profile suited to firm and dense ingredients Direct replacement for R401, R402, and R402 VV models Supports consistent output quality as part of routine blade maintenance Quick to swap, keeping processor downtime to a minimum It is worth confirming your exact processor model before ordering. Robot Coupe blades are model-specific and not interchangeable across the wider range. If you need a smooth blade, a finer serrated option, or are unsure which blade is right for your application, the team can help you identify the correct part.
