Can V-7000 model produced a thin carrot julienne which is 1.5mm to 2mm on each side? 3.5mm sounds too thick for my kind of cooking.

A 3.5 mm cross cut blade is what the machine has; there are no adjustments. And besides, long vegetables like carrots are not held securely in the holder. A food processor with julienne disk blade attachments would do a much better job.

You don't dice with it - not that I have figured out. Everything is vertical - so you can Julienne with it - but dicing would be (pardon the pun) dicey.

Yes and No. I had the wider version, and the cutting surface is just 3.75 inches wide (measured with a caliper), which will require you to quarter your cabbage. In addition, per the enclosed instructions, this model is only capable of cutting to a thickness of 3.0 millimeters, and you can not possibly make it cut any thicker without breaking the unit. I used my calipers to accurately measure the maximum thickness cut possible and it was .180 thick. So, given how much time and effort you want to put into slicing your cabbage heads, and your desired thickness, this wider model may or may not work for you. Best of luck.

There are 3 julienne blades. I find that the middle sized one is the best for making zuchinni noodles. The smallest one is way too fine. The standard slicing blade is attached to the mechanism. If you are slicing, then you don't need to add the julienne part. Once you get the hang of it, it works great. It is super sharp and even if you are careful, you will probably cut yourself once; I did and I was super careful. Great product for the price.

A bit smaller than the julienne carrot sticks you buy in a bag.. Although when applying pressure the julienne slices appear to come out a little thicker..

Not too easily. With a layered vegetable like onions, julienne them perpendicular to the axis and break up the segments. With others you would julienne them once and and hand slice the strips or attempt to julienne them a second time at right angles though I haven't tried it and you would need to be very careful.

Here's the bottom line: The peeler is very good but the julienne side is terrible and clogs up constantly. Don't buy this unless you just want a peeler.

Hi Karen! There are three slice thicknesses: 1/16", 1/8", and 1/4". There is also a julienne blade. Janet

If you mean 1/4"-1/2" diced pieces, no, it does a nice job with sliced veggies for soups, stews, etc. If I need diced veggies for any recipe I dice them myself using a Chef's knife (8").

The 8mm disk was included in my order. I will also comment on the julienne disk. It wouldn't cut harder vegtables such as carrots for me. It jammed in the disk. Just an fyi.

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").

Yes Emily, you can do one carrot at a time. I purchased it for making zucchini bread.

Yikes...definitely not...nice pot though! I agree with previous answer, more of a large veggie portion pot! Good luck.
