Are the scrapers under the rollers made of plastic or metal and can they be removed/cleaned easily? How thin is the thinnest setting?

Are did not pay attention to scrappers. Cleaning of device is easy. The thinnest setting is thin enough to make any type of food, probably close to 1mm or less. One warning. It is better to thin dough twice, one at higher setting by two unit, and next time desired thinness.

This machine is all metal. As long as your dough is made properly and not too wet, it's easy to clean. Agree with the previous answers on the thinnest setting. Nothing to add.

You would think I'd know what the scrapers are made of since I recently cleaned them - lol. I think that they are metal. It is relatively easy to clean, but of course, just keep track of where your screws went and how the pieces fit together and you'll be fine. The thinnest setting on the Atlas is .6mm or .02362 inches. I purchased the Atlas 180 to use for polymer clay (not pasta dough as intended by the makers) and I also sprung for the Atlas motor to go with the machine - I bought both here on Amazon. The motor and the machine work beautifully together!

There metal and I think 9 is the Thinist setting which is in my option thinner then you want to go, it's a great roller and wider them the 150 I'm happy with mine

I believe they are graphite powder used on the rollers. I advise you to read the maintenance guide to verify and I wouldn't use it until it is required or recommended by the manual.

Plastic or vinyl, they work fine and are easy to clean up. I had fun playing with the thing once you get the consistency of the dough right.

You should use something less abrasive. The plastic scrubbers shaped like metal scrubbers work well.

They are fairly thick. Im not sure of the thickness of the original manufacturers part. In my experience, the after market replacement part will last years with proper maintenance. Every 3 months you should remove everything from your grill and degrease it. Never use a scraper on any interior grill part.

I don't know the exact measurement of the brush roller but it is wider than most lightweights. The bottom is plastic. It's hard to find anybody who makes a metal plate any more.

Not like masking tape. It is thin and white, but *very* strong. I think they are the best rollers I've ever used.

I didn't have any luck with either of those. I wound up doing the corners and trim by hand. Even so, the main unit was a REAL arm- / back- / splatter- / drip- / mess- and TIME- saver. 100% worth the money on EVERY measure! Again, clean it THOROUGHLY as instructed after each major job or color change. (Just overnight, no problem - although when I did that, I wrapped the roller tightly inside a garbage bag to prevent any drying out.

Inside the unit there is a round spindle that has approximately 1/8" blades attached from top to bottom. I wouldn't describe the blades as being metal. They're more like durable plastic/aluminum blades, so in essence the whole spindle is what gets cleaned.

I use the plastic scraper with teeth that is sold for the purpose. I also use the scrubby side of a sponge with dish detergent. Works every time.

Its a metal roller with brush bristles coming out of it. If you look at what you are doing and be careful, I am sure it will be fine.

The only thing that is plastic on this unit is the adjustment knob, the rest is low grade steel. Not a bad roller for the price and for flat stock only. 1/4 Square will not fit in the groove.

You can either touch the plastic cover or I usually just lightly touch one of the actual rollers. Once I pick one out of the container, it normally cools down around the edges rapidly quick. I've had mine for over two years and I've never burned myself!

No they are not easy to remove. There is some pulling because of the texture on the roller, so your hair will have this static like effect

Hi. One side is a mild sponge, the other side is grid shaped, flat tho. I can't tell if it is a harder plastic or some light metal. Either way, it is not a 'bad' product for the price. But, I think the heavy duty 3M scrubbers would work as well, if not better. The heavier duty ones I have seen in Home Improvement stores. The heaviest ones are brown (the ones in regular stores are green)

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.

the scraper is of very limited flexibility. You can flex it a modest amount, enough to scrape a large mixing bowl, but it is not perfectly pliable.
