When fitting with a 150 or 180 pasta maker, do I still need to fix the pasta maker to the corner of table?

Annie, depends. I use my machine for rolling out gum paste for making flowers that I use in cake decorating, I do secure it, but not sure if it would be absolutely necessary. Have never made pasta with it. If it is convenient to secure it in your case, I would do it just to be sure.

No you don't . Which makes it so much easier. It is the best! For so many years my sister and i did it by cranking. This was so much easier.:)

Don't understand the question, if you want to know if the pasta machine should be fastened to the table the answer is yes. The more stable the machine the better it is to operate.

It's slim pickings for attachments for the 180 mm Atlas pasta maker. There are tons of different attachments for the more common 150 mm version. Many people prefer to manually cut their pasta to width with a chef's knife anyway. That's to say, roll the pasta dough to thickness, make into a roll and cut to desired thickness. Might actually be easier than a contraption. If you are interested in learning more about making your own pastas, there are some great online courses at craftsy dot com. The guy is an instructor at Culinary Institute of America, so pretty accomplished.

Mine is not a tight fit. It sounds like a flaw in the construction of the oven. I would get hold of Hamilton Beach customer service to report the problem and see what they want to do about it.

that would be 1 1/2 '' That would be a standard counter top. I don't use the clamp, I just hold the machine with one hand and crank it with the other. The machine pulls the clay through as you turn the handle. I haven't tried it for pasta as i only use it for clay. I hope this is helpful

I have the pasta attachment instructions for the DLC7 pasta maker and would be happy to send same on to anyone who wants it...I find the pasta maker much too difficult to assemble and haven't used it in over 30 years. Originally purchased for $125.00 at Marshall Fields in Chicago. I now am back to using a manual Atlas machine. Asiana

The knob on the right is to control the thickness of the pasta. You should start at the widest point, then adjust as you pass the pasta through to desired thickness. Can't imagine a piece without this option???

If you want the lasagna or ravioli attachment I would recommend buying the Atlas 150. They do not fit onto the 180. I purchased the 180 for the size and do not need the other attachments. It is a great machine. I love it.

The machine itself won't do it. You'd have to roll the dough then make very thin slices and then unroll each slice. For spaghetti and angle hair type pastas you really need an extruder type pasta maker. I had one and it's nice but a lot of additional work and cleanup.

I don't know. I have never used it. I have a separate pasta maker that I have had for years. A hand cranked appliance.

Do you have the correct side up? This is the correct way from Breville. http://brevilleusasupport.com/bov450xl/

If you are referring to a small knob located on the part that is inserted into the front of the mixer (the hub), it is designed to seat neatly in the notch of the hub. This keeps the pasta roller from spinning when the machine is on. I'm not sure about any other knob. I am very happy with this attachment (after almost a year of use). It works very nicely ... I've rolled out pasta and perogi dough with this attachment. Save your money and purchase this one (if you're debating between the two?).

It will press pasta that thin if the knob is held in place. Otherwise, the dial will turn to a wider thickness. I can only speak for the machine that I have though. It's not working properly.

I've never had a problem fitting parts together for either of my Cuisinart processors. Unlike Richard W.'s situation below, however, both were newer machines. That said, once when I needed both a new bowl and a new pusher, it was actually less expensive to buy a new machine, so perhaps I merely avoided a problem. The old processor still ran fine, but the metrics were on the side of replacing the whole machine. It was distressing to me that it should be that way.

Yes, this is a wider version of the classic Atlas 150 (7" wide rollers compared to the standard 6" roller the 150 pasta machine carries)

Yes, the Atlas pasta machine motor is also designed to work with pasta machine model 180

Yes, you can make a flat sheet for the width of the roller. In fact, that is the part of the attachment that I exclusively use. I make flat sheets and use a ravoli maker to make pierogies with this machine. I have not used the attachments for pasta yet. I hope that this helps.

I've never tried, so my answer might not be what you are looking for. In any case, you can do flat sheets without any problems. So from that point of view, yes. But I just don't know how you would get the curly sides done (or how any pasta machine would get that done for you). You might just need to do the curling by hand. Similar to how one makes Chinese dumplings, by curling the edges by hand.
