The descripton says "butcher block cart". Can it really be used for choppng veggies without scatching it?

NO, it is unfinished wood. It will scratch if you cut on it. But, I do love it. I looks good and serves it's purpose. Great for storing stuff.

No I would not advise using it for chopping as that is what brought about the demise of my previous shovel... For that function I would use a metal shovel but for snow shoveling, wood chips, dirt or refuse it is GREAT !!!!

I've only used it to make zoodles. I don't think it can be used for parking veggies.

I would not really think that it would be proper in that application. I have read chefs using for their knives, and that was the only thing other than Axes and Hatchets that I have heard it used for. With the lawnmower blade being flat on one side, it would most likely do more harm than good.

It's more of a working area rather than a chopping table but you can definitely chop on it (remember to oil it if you do). I wouldn't.

It does chop veggies - but it does a better job mincing them, like Harlan Harris says. I used it to "chop" celery, carrots, tomato, bell pepper, cauliflower, and broccoli with ease! Softer things like tomatoes don't do too well in there - it turns out like a puree.

It will chop nuts not sure about hard veggies I only used it for salads, it isn't a sharp blade

No. This cart is for collecting leaves easily and moving them to a mulch pile, landscapers trailer, or leaf pile in the street for collection.

I have used mine to cut 'paper' thin for meats. I have not tried vegetables yet.

No....and I would not recommend it either. If it get dirty with wet dough sticking on it, just use a spatula or a scraper with the grain over the sink...and it actually makes it slicker for next time. Commercial bakeries generally do not treat their butcher blocks and if you use mineral oil...that is a petroleum made product. However, if you were to season it...perhaps lightly with olive oil.

I have used as a work surface but haven't cut on it. It doesn't seem like it's really a butcher block. Just looks like a nice wooden surface. I do know it scratches like any wooden surface. It looks good though :)

Yes. I've used it to chop broccoli, Onions, and Tomatoes. The trick is to pulse when using the chopper. Don't keep your fingers on the button as that would only act as blender and then it will all end in mush. So far so good I'm having no issues with it. I have yet to use the ice shaver but plan to soon. This is the best investment I've made this year... so far.

It would be hard, and to be honest the butcher block is the best part of the kitchen island. The rest is not solid wood, some part might be because it is heavy but the sides are def. compress wood. It not terrible quality but for the price it could be better.

This is not a chopping table. We us it as a food prep and eating island in the kitchen. We do use it for butchering elk and deer but only as a cutting board. We love it.

I would use it on a workshop table but not a butcher block as I done think it is food safe

It doesn't chop (cultivate). It penetrates to about 1.5" "if" you load it fully with concrete blocks. By the way, this must be pulled forward only, no backing up.

Kind of.I've made Slaw a few times with this thing already. I kinda depends how you like your Slaw. Long stringy parts, or thinly sliced cross sections. If the latter then this tool is awesome, as you dont need to do anything to the vegatable. If the other, then you'll have to peel each cabbage leaf, pile them on top of each other and roll them into tight rolls. Then you run these batched across the Madaline. (this is what I done, and it gets a bit finger worrying towards the end).Hope this helps
