Is fine shredder attachment really fine? Does the fine shredding disc on the DLC-2011 really shred carrots/cabbage/beets/potatoes finely?

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.

I'm not sure. I have shredded carrots and cheese only.It will probably get the job done if you tried shredding the cabbage.M!

Though the reversible shredding disc on the BSB530XL All In One will do a very good job of shredding the veggies in to smaller pieces, they may look more like shoe-string potatoes or straw then spaghetti.

My Royal 120X is still brand new, used it only a few times. Works like a charm.I would use a sawing machine oil. The shredder can't be more complicated then the old "used every day" sawing machine!

The slicer shredder has a much bigger cup capasity and runs on the lower rpm motor. Its perfect for slicing cheese without tearing it to bits. The slicer shredder also comes with an extra blade for French fries. If you make a few cuts in your potatoes and then run it through the slicer it will also cube your food for you. The food processor is smaller and runs on the higher rpm motor where your blender runs. Its good for veggies and very hard meats. I tried slicing pepperoni and cheese in the food processor. It did slice it but it also tore much of it to bits and i didnt like that much waste. Its perfect for say casseroles and salsas or other foods that won't be on display and has to be perfect. I use the slicer shredder for making meat trays and foods that i need to look a certain way and can't use if its deformed. They are bth very useful and important in their own way. I hope this helped you

Yes, it will shred cabbage, the cabbage needs to be cut into pieces, that will fit in the shute. Some times, if I only need about a quarter of cabbage, I'll just remove the lid and place it in, then put the lidback on, and pulse it. It's a great little machine!........Paul

The dust collection is great for the belt sander and pretty good for the disc. I run a DC1100 dust collector with only one machine connected at a time. It works really well for pulling nearly all the dust away.

I am not sure as I have never tried to shred beets, but I assume it would as I have shredded carrots and apples. I hope this helps.

The shredder blades are too small for a moist vegetables. What you need to use is the slicer blade. It has long slots on it.

I've never tried either but I'm sure shredding cabbage would be no problem. Keep in mind that the plastic container and cover are very flimsy and mine broke some time ago and I've had to discard the appliance.

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.

i did not have luck with grating carrots with the fine disk, but the one that is bigger was fine. i use the fine disk for nuts, chocolate etc, and the bigger one for carrots. the bigger one makes the pieces approximately to what one would get on the regular hand grater for apples. i hope this make sense to you.

Mine came with a fine and a coarse cutting disc. We used the fine disc for grinding Angus beef and it worked perfectly. since I cut the pieces to easily fit the opening, no ramming was necessary and the results were great without having to grind things twice. Also ran some dried bread through for clean up and a tooth brush to clean the disc.

Hello Julia, I have not shred hash browns, but other veggies, like cabbage, carrots, onions, in my experience, this shredder is O.K. but not sturdy enough, it looks like caves in the middle, it's too light to accomplish a good job in the kitchen.

We have had a couple of shredders in the past. We have taken a piece of paper to be shredded and covered the sheet with vegetable oil and then ran it through the shrewder. We do this each time we empty the basket. We now see that there is a 'special oil' to use. Best experience we have to offer.

The disk your looking for is the reversible disk. It does both medium and fine shredding.
