If I am just starting to cut fries this way, does this include everything I need? I dont understand how the puch blocks work.

This is going to be everything you need. If you think you might be doing a lot of fries, you might consider mounting this to the wall. If you mount to the wall, it will give you better leverage, you will be able to do fries faster and you can put a bucket underneath to cath the fries as you cut them. The push block will help get the end of the potato through the "knives". If you didn't have the block, you would end up with potato partially cut. I think you will love this thing, I know I do. I might also add, if you put a pinch of vinegar in the bucket with the cut fries and water. You will end up with better fries, the vinegar draws out the starch from the potatoes(so e people will use pickles in place of the vinegar...you might play around with it). Good luck and please feel free to email me if you have any questions. Billy

It's a food processor, so no to the fries. However you could do potato chip slices or wavy.

No Tim. Just the stuff you've already got around the shop. Check out the video... very comprehensive. I love this new cutter head so much I'm thinking of putting one in the jointer too.

You have two cutter's; one is thick and the other is thin. And if they are not thick enough you can always use the Corer. I like thick fries so that is my choice. Thanks!

No. It's a straight fry cutter only. There are two sizes of blades included for thick and thin fries. I wouldn't recommend buying this to cut potatoes as it isn't strong enough.

I'm sorry for not seeing this before. It does come with instructions (along with pictures) & even recipes to try, but I don't recall getting a knife with mine. I used this only a couple of times, but prefer to use a bamboo roller. This kit would be great if you need it just to make shapes of sushi, but if you just want to make sushi I would suggest a bamboo mat and some plastic wrap.

Yes (ironic because I just came in from mowing my lawn). You're forgetting that the blade and the drive system engage separately: the orange bar only engages the drive system. To cause the BLADE to work, you need to put in your key, push the orange button on the side (trapezoid shaped) up on the right side of the handle, put the BLACK bar into the plastic slot for it to the right side of the handle, then pull the black bar back while it's in the slot. The blade will engage. If your mower starts sounding tired or cuts slow later in your mowing, you're running out of juice and will need a recharge. I bought a spare battery for this reason and needed it today with foot high grass. Yes (ironic because I just came in from mowing my lawn).

It comes with three cutters. One is 6mm dice, one is 9mm dice and one is 6mm slice. I haven't used the slice cutter but I don't think it would do french fries. Great product, would buy again.

Hi C.C. I'm not familiar with the blades/accessories that come with the DLC-2011CHB 11 cupper:( This storage case is designed to hold two blades (shredding and slicing) in the bottom drawer with three chopping blades positioned in the uppert part plus the coupling piece. All of these items have specific positions in the case. There is also room in the top to put your spatulas and brushes. The bottom is not completely solid however there is no risk of being cut by the blades when they are in position. If your unit has the same blades/chopping accessories - you are good to go:) I really appreciate having these sharp tools safely tucked in one place! Hope that helps.... Hi C.C.

When mine arrived the knives and block were separate. Once I placed the knives in the block, I had no issue getting them out.

The cuisinart does not come with the 1 or 2 mm slicing disc they have to be purchased separately. The 1 mm slicing disc only fits the cuisinart DLC-XP which is the 20 cup model. The 2 mm is pretty thin like 1/16" which is really thin but not Lay's Potato chips thin. I think it would be okay for potato chips. I bought my 2mm from thegourmetdepotco.com. As for the potato, you can drop in a whole potato but the size is limited by the size of the feed tube. If it's wider than the feed tube it has to be cut to fit. Also, since potatoes are never uniform in size, if you plan to process more than one at a time, you may or may not be able to get more than one in the feed tube without having to cut at least one of them. That has been my experience. Update: I sliced a potato using the 2mm disc and baked the chips in the oven. Once the potatoes lose their moisture in the oven, they are thin. They baked up nice, crispy, and thin. After this experiment, I think the 2mm is perfect for potato chips. They baked up nice and crispy. I will have to do this more often!

Honestly, I wish that I had asked the same question you're asking before I bought the master kit. I could've done without the additional accessories, truthfully I'll prob never use them. If you're just looking for the jig with the clamp, the adjustable counter sink drillbit, and the 6" long square head driver bit for your drill (which is all you really need in my opinion) spare yourself the extra money and get the regular kit. You can go to the Kreg Tool website and order the additional accessories if you want later (you'll get a brochure and dvd with ads for all the accessories anyway).

When I purchased it, it did include the potatoe peeler. However the knife is worth it. I use it every day.

Yes, mine came with the circle cutting guide and everything listed and pictured with it comes in the box.... works great.

I don't know. I have never thought about fries. When you do a hamburger, you have to turn it over and do the other side. It may be difficult to do that with fries.

Previous posts are correct. It comes with everything you need. I happen to have one of the wrench bits, not sure what its called, but I used a drill and that bit that holds like a six sided shape, it screws it in tight and nothing is moving.

By all means store whatever you would like in the block if it fits. There are three of the knife openings/slots that are smaller than the others. These are the 2 on the lowest row & the 1 opening/slot located just above these 2.
