is the slice thickness adjustable?

Comment: I would have purchased this if the slice thickness was adjustable.

When the blade is removed, the gears visible are plastic.My biggest complaint is "slippage" in the thickness control....when one is slicing, it's natural to press the food item against the plate that sets the thickness, and it responds by moving slightly on each slice - meaning that unless one is paying attention and resets things every few slices, one is faced with thicker and thicker pieces (in my case) of meat for jerky. Not good.

No, the blade is smooth and offers a smooth cut, with an adjustment of slice thickness.

I just used my Hamilton and some slices are this, and turn over, Disc and your slices are thicker Just it number one on machine slow watch as you go. there should be the right slices your looking for. Love this Tool.

No. The only adjustments you can make would be the amount of peeling that is pared and to slice/core or not slice at all.

this is a great product and no the thickness is not adjustable but you cut the meat the size you want just not bigger than an 1 1/2 inches and you can order parts from the manufacturer but so far not needed

HI Lucas, width of the cut is not adjustable but I think it's even better because it's easier to use and you can prepare your meals fastermwithout needing to adjust the cut. Cheers!

There's a "slider" to adjust the thickness of the cut -- but not a huge difference between the three. The two thinnest I'd call "paper thin". The thickest cuts about 1/32" of an inch thick - perfect for carrot "coins".

The only reason I did not like this particular product is that the blade is not adjustable. I have ised the green plastic Japanese ones in the past and you were able to adjust the thickness of the item you were slicing, not just the shape of the blade. I am a chef and sometimes one size does not fut all in a professional kitchen.

Yes, there is a dial on the side that allows you to adjust the depth of the slice. I've made potato chips from it as well as french fries!

Susan, I'm not sure. My husband usually does it and the slices come out pretty thick. Maybe it's the amount of pressure you apply. He loves it!

Yes, they are removable-and adjustable. They're preset at the factory for thin slicing, which is perfect for me; but others may prefer thicker slices.

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, I found that replacement parts can be ordered from www.westonsupply.com. No, contact thickness is not adjustable however your meat slices should not exceed a thickness of 1-1/2".
