how thick are the slices?

Between one to two mm, depending on the cheese, the pressure on the blade and the angle of the blade, although the blade does have a optimum level that it cuts. They are very nice for melting in hot liquid or breaking up on a salad or laying on bread, crackers or rolls.

I would say between 1/8" to 1/16". Somewhere in between there. you can change the thickness by how you angle it when cutting the cheese.

The slices are quite thin: Just thick enough to hold together. I would estimate about 1/16 of an inch or possibly less. Think in terms of shaving rather than slicing.

They are not thick. My only issue is that I find them a little to small. Nevertheless, I am happy with the Arepa maker.

They are hard, but flexible and thin enough to cut up with kitchen shears. They are about 3" sq.

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").

The thickness cannot be adjusted. The slices are 1/4 to 3/8". I canned mine and made a pie last night. If used fresh the slices probably wouldn't cook to pieces. The taste is the same and there were no complaints about big chunks of apple missing from the pie. I really save a lot of time and effort by using this device--a whole box of apples from the grocery store in about 35-45 minutes. Really saved my wrists and hands!

They aren't deep enough to cut through a two-slice sandwich - they are about as thick as one slide of bread. I usually cut the bread shapes first, then make a sandwich.

I just cut some mozzarella but cut it about 1/4 inch without a problem.. I haven't tried to slice anything thin as yet..

The slices are approx. 1/2 inch thick if used as directed. I find that you can adjust the thickness larger by moving the loaf within the guides. I hope this helps.

I would say they are at least 1/8 inch thick maybe a bit more. Sturdy knife that holds up well. I actually take off the cord which will fray and grind down the nub that holds the cord in place. Cheapest thrower out there that is heavy enough for me.

Yeah, slices very thin. We sliced potatoes to around a 1/16" slices and fried them. Worked great I thought

I have never measured it. But it seems about the same as a store bought one. Maybe one half an inch. Of course you can skip the slots and get thick slices. This is my second one. I dropped the first and broke one of the side rails. I like it.

The blade is not too thick, but I don't have a way to measure it. The knife is fairly big as it is so the thickness is not noticable.

I believe they are about 3/4 inch thick! About 2 times thicker than Eggo frozen waffles! Very nice machine. Rachael Ray uses this one on her show. Does a great job!

Each section is about 3/4" thick. You can skip sections to create thicker slices. The sections are alternately colored so it is easy to ensure that you are lined up correctly.

This slicer is amazing!Super easy to use and has varied thickness options. Hope this helps.

I don't have a ruler handy, and also don't have any bananas handy, but the slices are just as thick as the interstitial distances between the slicing crosspieces, which I assume is identical in all the Hutzlers, though the model number "571" may indicate otherwise, that there may be other models with more or less distances. Then too, in more squishy bananas, one gets a bit of a"banana spread" factor, making a standarized scientific figure hard to achieve.

My granddaughter has mine at the present but I think you can adjust the blade so it slices thicker.
