When they say "Thick" do they really mean "Wide" (like Pappardelle)? THICK would be a function of the roller, wouldn't it? Not a cutter. How wide?

Yes, they mean wide. The width of the noodle before boiling will be 7/16" or 11 mm as best as I can measure the cutter width. Regards, Jim

I think they must mean wide. Thick pasta strips would be very stodgy. I find the wider width on the cutter good for recipes calling for pappardelle. If you would like wider strips roll pasta in to sheets of the required thickness. I use 7, sprinkle semolina on the pastry board, lay pasta on board, sprinkle the pasta with semolina. Fold pasta several times starting with a long side. Cut in to required width strips with a sharp knife. Unfold carefully.

The set I have has cutters for linguine and fettuccine, typical widths for those pastas. The cutters are deep enough that I suppose you could roll a thick piece of dough and make thick egg noodles, but, yes, that would be a function of the roller, not the cutter. As far as I know, they don't have a noodle cutter for anything a wide as pappardelle. The noodle cutters also do a nice job cutting very thin pasta, and the roller has settings from 1 to 8, 8 being thin enough to be transparent. This attachment makes pasta-making very quick and easy.

ours never worked correctly It wouldn't cut the pasta cleanly and since i couldn't find the receipt they wouldn't take it back be careful with these people

Yes it is thick enough to roll on glass without ripping. You can cut it to the length needed. It's about 2 & 1/2 feet wide.

whats a 'large' roll? in the world of paper towels large doesnt mean much. how about this. what is the largest diameter of roll that will fit in this without it rubbing?

The roller is about 4 inches across, maybe 1.5 in diameter. It works very well, although you will want a very well kneaded almost dry dough or it doesn't roll out well

Ours has 8 thickness settings. And we love that thing, too. If you're interested, we've hand-made pasta for 25 years or so... rolled it in a hand-cranked machine. We always got very good results. This is MUCH easier, and we also used the mixer to start the dough kneading process. Between the two, it was faster, easier, and we got pasta that was every bit as good as the best we ever made by hand. Good luck... enjoy... Doug in Niceville, FL

I would have to say these rollers are designed for thick long hair. The hair will have to be rolled thick enough so the roller edge itself does not contact the scalp.

If you are rolling out a cookie dough for instance and you want to make sure all the dough is rolled out evenly to a certain depth, say 1/4" thickness, these are wonderful. I do recommend though that you use one of the bigger rolling pins because you have to have the pins rolling on the counter outside of the dough.

In answer to the thickness--I have not used it for other pasta's, just egg noodles. (Beef and noodles, Chicken and noodles that kind of thing and like my grandmother use to make which was a thicker noodle) It rolled the dough to a size, I like, for my mine. My best advice is to try it--

I bought this pasta roller for making Pappardelle pasta. Yes, I suppose I could roll out a flat sheet of pasta and then cut it wider into Pappardelle shape, but I wanted to do it this way. I really love making pasta, and this is just one more "toy" for me.

it will handle all sizes up to the width of the roller. mine is buried in my attic somewhere so i can't measure it for you. but i found it so much easier than rolling by hand and the finished product actually looked like a rolled bandage. hope that helps.

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.

Never tried it with rollers that large. Measured the largest circumference and it's about 1-1/4 inches at the widest. Not sure it would work.

Ive only used flexi rods and roller rods... never tried regular big rollers...hope that helps

Not a thick roll. About half the mass of a normal roll. You want mass? Buy Charmin. You want a good laugh, then buy this

Basically you can get them as wide as the roller will allow...about 5-6 inches and as long as you want. It is just a matter of piecing together sections of rolled clay (like puzzle pieces) and then re-rolling them through the machine to get them to stick together. You sometimes have to do this until your clay is soft and does not crack at the edges. I use this method to make large pattern pieces for Art snowboards and surfboards. I love this roller for that reason...it rolls out a nice uniform sheet that I can then cut out shapes with the clay tool set and glue them together with Sculpey glue and so on. It saves my hands from having to hand roll which can take forever and be very hard on your hands. Great machine and a lot cheaper than some other rollers. I could not be happier with this product.

im away from actually looking at it so i cant be specific. probably not that thick but getting there. if your doing a lot of slicing as it sounds like you are you probably should buy it, you will be happy with it.
