how "thin" is this going to slice? looking for not much bigger then a lead pencil.

The shreds are substantially thinner than regular hash browns. The sheds are thinner than a lead pencil.

It essentially gives you very thin long strands. Makes great hash browns. I would say about the same size as the lead of a fine pencil, but thinner than the lead in a typical 2B "standard" pencil.

The cross-section is about 3/32 X 3/32 inch for potatoes, slightly thinner than 1/8 inch and thicker than 1/16 inch. By your measure, the thickness is less than 1/2 of a (wood) lead pencil. Hope this helps.

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.

Yes it is your basic lead pencil. .7mm lead and I would think a regular eraser for lead pencils would work.

im away from actually looking at it so i cant be specific. probably not that thick but getting there. if your doing a lot of slicing as it sounds like you are you probably should buy it, you will be happy with it.

I am not sure of the exact thickness but it is fairly thin. I think a standard drill bit would easily go through this thing.

Hi Mark. I just tried it and the pencil slopped right through. Maybe a smaller size clip would work?

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..

I have done cuts as small as 1mm and they come out perfect. So far none of the cuts I have made have fail. As long as you have the Blade number, speed and thickness settings in the right numbers you won't have any problem, it does take a little practice, but there is a lot of videos about it. I always made a test on a scrap of paper.

I think the grater is going to be okay, but the material isn't substantial enough to make the slicer useful - it buckles a bit when I've tried to slice carrots on the diagonal. Which can actually make it dangerous if you should slip.

Use a .5 mm mechanical pencil. It is helpful to hold the pencil perpendicular to your work. (I. e. vertically in most cases.) This will go a long way to prevent lead breakage. It is also supposed to be possible to use a normal wooden pencil if it is sharp enough. I haven't tried that.

For a carving knife it slices about a 1/4 inch thick but not any thinner than that. It really isn't meant to cut super thin as it is really for carving London Broil, Ham, Prime Rib, Turkey etc. If you are wanting very thin slices I don't believe you will be happy with this knife. It has a pretty thick blade to begin with. It is an excellent carving knife for the price and well made.

Its thin, it will be no good for log splitting. Great product for chopping.

Depends on the thickness. I use it for cutting small cables and tie-wraps. Anything thicker than a pencil, I would definitely not use these. Good luck

Although the metal is of low quality, the tips are a decent sharpness, now this is the VERY tip of the blade, not the curve of the blade leading to the tip. But I wouldn't try to stab or even poke nothing thicker then a very thin piece of wood, because the blade itself is so flimsy you run the risk of bending and/snapping the blade. Honestly its more for show, not usability, unless your facing a teddy bear, then this is your go to poker.

Hi Marie, I bought this quite some time ago. I used it for a while and it's very accurate.You need to use really small lead pencils so it can fit in the tiny holes.Mine was about 6 to 8 inches very thin I think aluminium metal and a red handle that works as a fence,not sure if it was made of hard plastic or light composite metal . it was very light.I put it away in it's box for fear that it can get bent easily. Now I'm not sure where it's at. It's a nice tool but it won;t forgive you if you ever get careless, and I feel it can bend easily by mistake. I hope this helps you.

Its not too thick a paper, so there are chances of you tearing it in case of a very sharp pen.. You might just wanna use a normal stick pen Hope this helps !!

I had an oxo and a larger Industrial size as well and I tossed all In Favor of my beneiner. The beneiner can be made to slice any thickness, not just "settings" that can limit you. I can do paper thin slices and custom slices where others can't. It's also not clunky and awkward once you get used to handling it. I have two of them and I'm a chef as well and we have two at our restaurant. They can be Sharpened by any knife sharpener and if you know how to sharpen a blade properly, you can gently do it yourself. I wholeheartedly approve and I bet you you'll find yourself reaching for the beneiner in favor of all the others. I already got one for my beau for Christmas!
