No, N....its a large hole shredding blade.They sell a fine shredding blade but it'll cost an arm & a leg,I think I spent almost $60 on one for my 14 cup model...just so I could make carrot cakes.And btw....it tends to get clogged, so it wasn't really worth it.Rather than dirty & have to wash all those parts of the FP I just drag out the old manual fine shredder & take 2 minutes & a little elbow grease to do the job.

Get a v-slicer (mandoline). I read all the amazon reviews and got one. I love it. It does many of the same jobs as a food processor for less money and mess. It will take care of your veggies.

I have been using my blades from the DLC 7 with no problems. However, I am not using my processor much lately since family size has changed. Hope this helps.

I shredded some purple cabbage and it did a very fine shred, not like you would find in a salad bar, but more fine. I thought it did a good job of it's a very fine shred that you're looking for.

Hi Carol. The blades on one of the attachments is metal and very sharp/the others are plastic. The ice crusher, smoothie one you use the metal one. But it is just like a knife, be careful how you handle it in the dishwasher, etc. Also, something I keep messing up on: Put the attachment in FIRST before your food... It might be common sense to most but I had a previous one that didn't allow removal pieces.

My understanding is that only DLC7 blades work on DLC7 food processor. Blades must match the model number on the machine they are used with....can't mix and match! At least, none of ours will work on any of the other food processors...and we have 3.

Does this accessory pack come with a piece that will shred cabbage. I wore out my last one (not a KA). I make lots of eggrolls and need to shred about 6 heads for each batch. Any opinion is greatly appreciated.

How "fine" is fine? Good question. My first grind with the coarser plate is less "fine" than I normally purchase at an local supermarket chain store and the second grind with finer plate is more "fine" than what I normally purchased. That being said realize I have now ground the meat (usually chicken) twice. I hope that helps. I am not trying to be cryptic.

It does a great job on cabbage. I've made crocks of sauerkraut several times using it to do all of the shredding and have been very pleased. Gloria

I bought a Magic Bullet but it looks different than the main unit where MB is written on the top in red. This one is not in color and MB is written on the bottom and when a replacement chop blade unit was ordered, it came where it was 3 inches in diameter instead of 4 inches needed. Anyone can help with that? Thx.

Ok, assuming you are using the shredder, not the grinder. And using the coarse shred wheel, not the fine one then only thing I can think you may have done is turn the Mixer itself up too high. You should leave the mixer on #2 for attachments use. If thats exactly what you did, then maybe your shredding wheel needs to be sharpened.

I got the 2 attachments included in the Presto 02910 package. I slice carrots, radishes and other salad ingredients. I have not shredded cheese yet. The explanation that is online give an explanation of what each attachment does.

I find there is really very little waste using the food holder. I have not sliced carrots but can't see why that would be different from any other item. I was surprised at how much of, let's say an onion, actually was useable. I think the safety food holder is the key because it pushes the food into the blade.

I do not use the shredder . I returned it because I found it very dangerous. you have to be extremely careful with it. the first time I used it the last swipe I cut half my nail off of my little finger. I have heard others ended up at the hospital due to the bleeding. don't buy it ! it should be taken off the market. don't waste your money!

I generally make a slaw out of a full head of both white and red cabbage as well as carrots, radishes, green onions and daikon (a japanese radish). I alternate items to simplify the mixing step and I need to process several large bowls to accommodate the total volume. The machine has no problem with large quantity shredding.

For those of you who get great results shredding carrots: WHAT AM I DOING WRONG??? My main purpose for buying a food processor was to grate carrots for carrot cake. I am EXTREMELY DISATISFIED with this processor!!! It creates huge pieces of carrot mixed in with the shredded carrot in the bowl. And, LOTS and LOTS of chunks of carrot are left on the top of the shredder, not even making it into the bowl. I have to fish out the chunks of carrot before I can use the shredded stuff. Please tell me I'm doing something wrong. I was so excited to buy this food processor but now it just sits on the shelf.

I have an 032 which turns carrots into juicy unrecognizable pulp, and an 037 which makes big chewy, hand-shredder-sized shreads. I understand why you also want to find the size in beween. I bought my disc because I wanted to shread potatoes for latkes. What I hit on and received was looked like mine on the website and even fit my stem, but is a half inch wider in diameter. (My food processor is a DLC 10 purchased in 1986 and going strong.) What I received was for a DLC 7, which I found out only after it was received. Its on my list of things to do to return it. Amazon needs to require postings to have fuller descriptions, especially for appliances which change models over the years.

Personally, I would want the cheese very cold but not quite frozen. So only take out a little at time to shred. Good at cabbage for cole slaw. I preferred the older model to this one. So I recommend you shop carefully the magnets that hold device closed are stronger than the plastic. I'm starting to get some crazing in my plastic. It DOES do what it is supposed to.
