Can you substitute the nylon dishwasher safe blades for the metal ones?

I can sell them to you as an addition but not substitute. Regardless you never want to put any Mixer components in the dishwasher. ALWAYS WASH THEM IN THE SINK WITH MED HOT WATER. THANKS

Yes. Amazon has them. The rods are about 10" long. Try a toothbrush and soap on yours, or the dishwasher.

No, I don't think so - Ive never removed the silver clip thing to change blades, anyway. Just use firm, steady pressure, bracing the blade against your workbench while holding the handle. Be careful not to bend the blade, though. You might try putting a coat of wax on the blades also - not only will that help protect it from rust and cut down friction while cutting, but it might make it a bit easier to get in and out of the handle too.

I wouldn't, they sent a set of utensils that were plastic and if I recall ( I don't want to go dig out the instruction book) they say NOT to use metal. Plus the ones they sent with it are really good and sturdy and clean up nice. Enjoy your set ... I do.

Yes, just change the inserts. There are three different sizes for slicing & two for chopping.

You can use the same brand for both blades, but different sizes. As for two different brands you can do that as well so long as it's the proper size.

I believe they are available from Amazon. I've never replaced the blade myself.

Plastic. Go with a metal version of these. Look for shiny metal rivets/screws on the sides, that is the give away for metal versions. I've been packing thousands of products for sale to customers for 20+ years. The only one I've ever found that works best and can replace the blades is the ULINE, H-380, 2" Metal Dispensers, 1/2 to 2", $11 each. Replaceable blades. 3M Scotch is disposable when blade wear out.

yes and no the parts are metal so probably dishwasher safe , however the metal will turn black may still work the same just not as pretty

According to their specifications, we are supposed to be able to use other brands replacement blades. I have not attempted tobuy any yet. I did search amazon for replacement HSS (high speed steel) Segmented Blades and found many.

yes, I have used them over and over. Just don't put them in the dishwasher. it warps the plastic

Simply put, no. If you need dishwasher safe sticks I might suggest acrylic or steel. Wood doesn't get along with dishwashers well.

Yes, loosen the two screws on the old blade and remove the blades, then replace them with these new blades. You should have no problem at all.

Not that I have found. I tried looking for them when my first one broke (which took years of daily use) but couldn't find any replacement blades.

Washing the blade, no (too sharp- it would cut the dishwasher rack or dull itself banging against other items). I also wouldn't put the sliding tray in the dishwasher (sealed dial wouldn't dry, so it could rust hidden metal bits). There is a metal push plate you could wash safely. Other small plastic piece ( separator blade) is too small, so could get lost. So my answer would be mostly no to dish washer.

I'm pretty sure they are, at least the metal parts. Putting the blade in the dishwasher would surely wash off the lubricant for the driving gear, and the right lube is hard to find and expensive. I just hand wash everything after use. The hardest part of clean-up is the base which has lots of nooks and crannies for 'meat dust' to get caught in. DON'T put the base in the dishwasher :>) , but do be careful when handling the blade.

Yes. That's what I have and these blades are much better than the original! Awesome!
