What is the THINNEST width of bread you can slice?

It appears to me to be 1/8 inch, The markings on the wrapper - which is in Japanese (I think) - show 10, 15, 20, and 25mm. Keep in mind that the product is made of plastic, and the guide, while rigid, has some flex, so you may not get perfect cuts. However they are straighter than I can cut freehand! My greatest complaint is about the limit imposed on the height & width of a loaf to be cut. A pullman-type usually works fine, many loafs prepared in a bread machine are too large, and definitely a boule will not fit within the guide.

We bake our own bread and slice it thick -- about 3/4 inch maybe to an inch thick -- no problem.

My bread machine is a Breadman with a 5 1/2" wide pan. The loaves will not fit comfortably in this slicer, which measures 4 7/8" wide. While you can force the loaf into the slicer, the loaf may distort and yield uneven thickness slices. Still looking for the perfect guide!

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 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!

Actually the slice is somewhat larger than store bought bread at 4 1/2" X 5" for the 1 1/2 lb. loaf. 2lb loaf would run 4 1/2" X 6". Don't know about the 1lb loaf but would be 4 1/2 X ?.

Don't know about bread but great for meat and cheese. It will slice to a little over a half inch thick.

I am sorry I don't know what a bread slicing guide is. I just cut the bread to the thickness I like

6 3/8 inches. Sometimes when the bread rises really high in the middle it won't fit under the arch but it is an awesome bread slicer. We use ours a couple of times a week and it still looks new. Well worth the money.

Not on this item. The slices are universal. Which I've found to be the perfect width. Not too skinny and not to fat.I watch my wife slice a pineapple the old fashioned way while I zip through mine in a quarter the time with this handygizmo.

Hi, Deb! It depends on what you mean by "long". I buy Vienna bread from my grocery store bakery and some of the slices are about 1-1/2 the width of a regular slice of bread. I can usually fit them into the slot (front to back) or if they are slightly too wide I can put them in diagonally and get a good result. By width I don't mean how thick it's sliced, I mean side to side measurement. It is about the same depth of any other toaster. Hope this helps you make a choice.

Make a 1 lb loaf and you get small slices. 1.5 lb loaf makes normal slices, and the 2 lb recipe will give you huge slices. Of course your gluten free won't rise as much so 2 lb might be your only option.

The instructions don't give the measurements of the slices, so I measured the thickest one. It's about 1/2 centimeter. Which is less that quarter of an inch. Not very thick. I love it though, and have learned to make do with thinner slices, or just use a knife.

Steven, my bread is currently the Sara Lee Honey Wheat variety, and four slices will easily fit. I understand what you're saying...if I turn the slices "sideways" they might fit tight...you might end up with "Siamese" french toast. But alternating or turning them all the same way...you're going to have plenty of room for those for slices. I make french toast for my husband on this little fella all the time! Enjoy!! :)

The width is roughly 4-5 inches depending on your skill. The thickness is variable based on the knob on the side of the machine. The thinnest setting is very tricky and is almost too thin to do anything with. I usually only go to a 2 to make sheets thin enough for tortellini and ravioli. Beware if it is too thin it gets jammed in the cutting attchments easier.

Sorry Tweety Bird .... You can only try it ..... The slices are really not very thick when cut using the slots on the slicer ..... Much thinner and you won't have much bread left �
