The thickness dial on this slicer is similar to the numbers that are used at the Deli counter. Do they convert to anything? It's not metric;or is it?

I use 615 to slice meat mainly. The thickness of meat in mm is not exactly the same as the number listed at counter but proportionally. You can adjust the thickness of meat to which you preferred after a couple of try. One thing I would like to highlight here is that the thickness is not even, one end is thicker than the other, but acceptable to me.

I think it is in milameters. The max cut on this is 9/16th. Wichita is very close to 20 mm.

I've never measured it but it can make tissue thin or as thick as an average pickle chip. This is the best tool for commercial kitchen. I have three of them. I'm a career chef and this is a must for prep. They are pricey but worth every penny. The blade can be removed and sharpened. It is quality just as any high priced japanese steel tool. Never settle for less than Benriner.

Hey Charlie - They have a FAQ for the slicers here: http://chefschoice.com/faqslicers.html No manuals online though - what did you need to know about it?

With digital calipers on the lip, the thickness measures 3 mm. or ~1/8 inch - certainly not 1/4 inch or 1/16".This is for my pan purchased in 2009, VSC0805, 7-ply, made in Belgium.

I love this slicer... cuts into three choice of thickness, abt 1/16th inch, 1/6th and 1/4 ... I would not want to be without it! (no blades to change... just move the slide button on side of the slicer to chose your thickness...cleans up in a whistle too! East to store flat! Hope this helps...

I'm not sure what the actual degree of thinness is, the dial doesn't have settings of dimension. You can dial it thin enough for French dip beef.

Never really measured it, but It's wider than a normal slice so you can slice your bread to the thickness you like..Nice slicer, we like it!

Mrs. Connie I'm not sure of the exact thickness measurements, but I have made steak fries with this slicer. Also I like thick tomato slices to fry and the machine does this effortlessly. Hope this helps.

My dial micrometers show 1.660&lt;1.665. They are not perfectly round. Hope this helps.

I sliced an onion on both settings. The thick slices were 7 mm (1/4"), and the thin slices were 2 mm (less than 1/8").

Up to 1.5 inches it doesn't really help make thinner slices, which was the reason I bought it. I then bought a deli slicer knife that has an adjustable blade that can slice very thin slices. Neither one is as good as a machine of course. The deli slicer's blade is not as sharp though and the wooden one looks nicer if that matters to you.

no adjustment for thickness and it cuts it in a spiral form like a slinky. slices are about 1/8th of an inch

You can adjust the thickness of the slices by the amount of pressure that is placed downward on the handle. Less downward pressure makes thinner slices.

I'm sorry, I don't know for sure. I am still using and enjoying this slicer.

I dont know the mm, but it is the slice of a normal piece of store bread. You can make it thicker by skipping a slot.

I have the Jumbo slicer - not certain on "White"? looks axsacly like the one pictured to the left. I can measre if you preffer... I want to say the thickest slice is a good 1/4" or larger. I can say with great confidance , this is a wonderful tool that I cannot belive how much time it saves and the quality is outstanding.

The paper thickness is equal to any I have used. I had to adjust the print area .05 of an inch for my Quicken but very easy to correct.
