I'm looking for a slicer that will cut a 3 pound roll of provolone from Sams Club relatively thin without issue. Ideally around 1/16" cuts. Will this?

We've been using it on Cooper sharp cheese and it works well. No problems at all.

I just cut some mozzarella but cut it about 1/4 inch without a problem.. I haven't tried to slice anything thin as yet..
1090736
Yes t should no problem. I slice steak on it no problem so i cant see why it wouldnt be able to handle cheese.

no it wont the thickness adjustment is cheap and will only stay if you hold it I did not send mine back right away now im stuck with it

You certainly notice it slowing down under the load, but I didn't think it was unusual. As you said, it's not really built for heavy-duty use, but it works fine in my book. If I had to use it more than once a week or so, I'd probably spring for a more robust model.

No, It won't cut anything thicker than 1/16". I have cut plastic and fabric with mine.

seems to be well made, but I find that the motor isn't strong enough to deal with slicing cheeses... fine on meats though. Most likely, if I had a choice, I'd spend more money and get a slicer with a bigger power source.

i am not sure. i had a slicer my mother gave me years ago but it finally "died". i found the one i have on amazon, read the reviews on various brands and finally decided on the one i wanted. it is heavier than my old one but it works quite well. i wish i knew the difference but i don't. i am so sorry i could not give you the info you needed.

It cuts cheese with no problem! i even buy the big wheels of longhorn and it cuts it perfectly, i use my slicer on everything from meats and cheeses to veggies and even frozen meats! trust me you would be quite pleased with this machine! even cuts paper thin!

I'm not sure what you mean by a V-slicer and I don't think I've used one so I can't say. The julienne blades don't work well with harder vegetables. It's a shame because that's what we really wanted it for but...oh, well. I know others have said that it does work well so perhaps it is our inexperience with it. It's our first. We will try again and let you know!

For a carving knife it slices about a 1/4 inch thick but not any thinner than that. It really isn't meant to cut super thin as it is really for carving London Broil, Ham, Prime Rib, Turkey etc. If you are wanting very thin slices I don't believe you will be happy with this knife. It has a pretty thick blade to begin with. It is an excellent carving knife for the price and well made.

Yes this should work because it sits on the slicer platform just like the food you want to slice. You then adjust it to sharpen the blade. This way it will work on most slicers

I think so. But I much prefer their other slicer...it has more variety in size and shape. :)

The slices are on the thin size, in my opinion. I've been using it less and less as a result, in favor of slicing with a knife. I suppose that means it wasn't a good purchase for me... Probably it depends on whether you like lots of cheese (thick slices) or not (thin slices). Your call.

YES. I thought the slices were a bit too thin for me so I bought some plastic washers to put in between the slice bars. Very well made piece. It should last for many years.

I would guess that it would, although I haven't tried it. I thin slice hams. I come pretty close to "shaving" them which is what I like. I have found that it is better to just let the machine do the work to get a thinner slice (Don't force or try to hurry). You manually move the ledge that holds the meet back and forth yourself so you control the speed of that.

1/2" thick stainless steel? Yes, If you're making a very short or precise cut, the oscillator will work slowly. A power hacksaw would be much more appropriate for a long cut.

No it has worked fine for slicing about a pound or two of meat at a time. That's all I need it for. I love mine!

I bought this slicer for my mom. She said it's pretty thin. Maybe 1/4 inch is the thinkest and a little thicker than paper thin is the thinnest. I hope this helps.

It slices very thin -is perfect for making crisps. It will slice soft fruit and veg beautifully as the blade is very sharp.

I would like to know also....Could it also slice raw beef? I want thin slices for a dish.
