    Just another thought FWIW. This contraption is used for hard candies, and I just last night saw a very similar device used for mochi making HERE. The reason I'm suggesting this is the physics of trying to press down on a bed of hard candy (even before its set), and thinking how much pressure would need to be applied to force through all that surface area. The idea with these contraptions (as demonstrated in the video at the very first second and in more detail later in the video) is that friction/rolling assists in cutting through.

    I took a candy class at the French Pastry school and we used this. As a cheaper alternative, we used fish bait-making rollers. They work just as well and are available in different, affordable sizes. The brand is Gardner Rolaball Baitmaker, if anyone is still interested. I also noticed cake-pop rollers look very similar. The mochi video is very cool!
