We have one on a drill rig at work. It has survived mud, rain, and washing with no ill effects. We've had it on for six months.

I don't recommend it as with washing it will start to come undone. I use it for quilting before final quilting. Hope this helps

The third picture is showing the blades part way open to all the way, where they can be separated for washing (don't put it in the dishwasher). The distance of the blades for cutting depends on the size of your hand. If you need more room to set up a cut, release your hand from one blade, open the blades more, then if necessary use both hands to make the cut. When you are through, open the blades all the way and lift out the top one for washing.

I wash it by hand. Warm soapy cloth. Rinse. Had one for years. (She got it in the divorce...lol) Never had the wire break. Guess it would break if you were slicing a brick! Slicer comes with 2 extra wires.

Hello,I have the habit of washing the cutter immediately after I use it or at least soaking it at the sink. so, I never tried to use the dishwasher.I will use the dishwasher next time I cook Pizza and will be glad to forward the results. I imagine that for being a stainless steel tool it will wash perfectly in the dishwasher, provided that it is placed in the washer in such a way that the washing water will drain perfectly from the curled section. I mean, placing it in a slant position and washing in the hot setup.

I washed it all before I used it. Turned out great! Would suggest doing it on a perma press cycle. BB

LOVE mine. Have not used it in dishwasher...so don't know. If used properly, there shouldn't be food in the curled section. But here's a tip that I use - before using it to cut the pizza (or whatever), rub some olive oil along both front & back of the blade, then use it on whatever you are cutting. When done, you will find that you can just wipe off the blade. The olive oil makes it easy. I still wash it later, but the olive oil keeps it from being "dried hard, & icky" if you leave it overnight. Less cleanup always = a smile for me. Have fun! I love mine.

Yea, I threw the whole thing in the washing machine, I cant remember if I put it in the dryer though or if I let it air dry. It turned out great!

You just have to keep in mind that there are 2 sharp edges. I wash it with a thin sponge or a small dish washing brush. Just make sure you only clean in the direction away from the sharp edges so the blade can't dig into the sponge or brush. I've cleaned mine both by hand and in the dishwasher with equally good results.

I will give you the same answer as the other respondent. You can chop on it. It will eventually look like any chopping block with knife marks. It needs occasional oil treatment. I got it for the chopping block look and I use a glass cutting board that is more sanitary and protects the wood surface.

I don't know for sure, so I wash it by hand just to be safe. I think the dishwasher would take off the finish and maybe split it where it's glued, just because it's made out of wood. That's what happened to a cutting board that I had - it wasn't beechwood, but it seems like the glue they use on wood doesn't stand up to the dishwasher very well. It's pretty easy to wipe down by hand, though.

I didn't try to cut it after it dried. I wet it and then put it over a aluminum foil sculpture. It worked great!

I washed mine in the machine in cold water with liquid fabric softener, stretched it out over a stand-up wooden drying rack and let air dry. Didn't hurt it a bit and it stayed soft.

Just got it a few days ago. Not sure how helpful this is, but immediately after using, I typically rinse the areas that would have come in contact with food, then dry with a towel. I suppose you could fit a damp/soapy q-tip behind the cutting blade if something got really stuck in there, then rinse lightly and dry. As someone already suggested, a small brush or even toothbrush seems like a good idea.

The machine doesn't not print. You create on the make the cuts program and print normally from your printer then Do a print and cut on the machine

I have washed it in the washer with warm/cold water, detergent and oxi cleaner. I dried it in the dryer on high heat. I washed and dried it with a towel load. It came out fine. It was hard to unsnap but that's probably good so that it doesn't come off unless you want it to.

If going down a number doesn't work then maybe it is dull, and wasn't washer properly. I run a paper towel through mine (no water if possible cause that dulls blade) to clean blade. Mine cut easily the moment I got it, if yours didn't the fault is not yours, but whoever you purchased from.
