When fully retracted, what is the length between the corer and the 3 prongs? Having trouble putting potatoes on our current unit due to short length

I don't have the measurements for you as it was a gift, but I did try it out and It won't do large potatoes unless you cut them maybe in half, but is does a nice job and the core is spiraled which I find very interesting when you want fries.....

I just measured the blades; blade one has 1/2" squares, and blade two has 3/8" squares. My husband just made oven baked fries with the 3/8" and they were great, but he did cut the potato in half length wise to fit in the cutter, as the entire opening is 2 7/16" square.

Not understanding that first answer. I have 2 stacked to separate potatoes and onions. Very happy with them.

3 1/8 x 3 1/8 x 1/2 inches works great. had to dig it out to measure it. fried potatoes yesterday. easy change out blades to smaller cuts also very easy. worth it. :)

Sometimes you just can't use the gripper, you can use smaller potatoes or cut them down a little. What I think is easiest is just not use the gripper, I bought the safety gloves and they are remarkable, you just have to be careful.

You can take out the supplied spud adapter and just mount it directly on a light stand or c-stand. I'm guessing your stand has a 1/4" stud and the supplied spud is 3/8". You can also get a 1/4" to 3/8" adapter.

Hi Tang, I just measured mine -- mine measures about 7-1/2" diameter at the bottom and 7-5/8" diameter at the top, from rim to rim. The three legs are detachable and don't protrude outside the rim. Hope this helps!

Similar to a full sized one but cut off after third socket. So about 6-7 Inches I think.

I think you would have to cut the potato in half lengthwise to make it work. Don't think it would work well with potato

Home depot, tractor supply or a good hardware store will have NPT reducers which will get you from 1" to maybe 3/8" npt. You can then use the standard 3/8 npt with a hose barb on the other end. I like to Teflon tape the threads also.

Turn off electricity. Use potato cut in half to unscrew the base. If that does not work, order the perfect tool from Amazon to do the trick. That 's what I did last year.

KillerRC, I was out of town but now have your measurement/s. You were correct in the 37 inches for the shelf side of mine; where the rotisserie lifts up. BUT, my auxiliary burner shelf is 37 3/8th! I can see no reason for the additional three eighths of an inch on that side. The fitting of all parts and pieces seem to be in order so I have no answer for the difference but it would have gone visually unnoticed, and has, except for your question. It is a non-issue for me and no visitors have ever seen it or said anything so it's staying as is. Good luck!

I just checked. You would need about 2" with the castors that are supplied or if you didn't put the castors on the stand you could get by with about 1 1/4".Hope that helps

Too short, working length on this unit more like 3 to 3 1/2 inches. Hope this helps.

I just tried mine on pickle size cucumbers (which is what I wanted it for) and it works great, but they're too thin. Only about 1/16 inch, so sadly, I'm going to send it back and get one of the adjustables. If you were going to make potato chips and wanted things thin, this works great and it's all they said it would be, from what I can see.

We used some very large idaho potatoes from costco but we had to cut them into chuncks. You will also need to mount it very securely as it requires a lot of force to puch the potato through.

Sounds too short, ur talking just a little over 8'. If you have Garden Ridges around u they had a short one when I ended up buying this one
