grooving works fine, I didn't know you could flip and sipe, I haven't tried that.

The speed adjustment on mine works beutifully though I have trouble balancing material, speed, blade tension, and material feed rate. On occasion the motor bogs at low speed in which case I have to back off, let it regain speed, then feed the material more slowly. My greatest wish is for an easier blade change mechanism.

I have used it on much larger knives than anyone is saying here. If you take your time, and move it down the blade you only need to get it close to the same depth on blade, (the older model had a groove made it easier) the angle change won't be that significant, probably comparible to the change you get when reaching way out to the tip of blade anyway. This method will give you more control when sharpening a deep curve, and prevent taking of too much (giving a fatter tip edge)

Yes it works great you just have to switch the side the pocket clip is on. It's got thumb studs on both sides of the blade along with the flipper

The manufacturer advises not to twist or torque the blade. Also warns about not using it to smash a clove of garlic on a cutting board.Since this is ceramic, it requires a bit more caution, but it does slice and chop terrifically.

I wouldn't really call it wobbling. But if you don't hold the wood down tight , it jumps up & down. I don't think that top thing does anything for the blade but cover it. It is not as steady as a band saw. If you are going to be cutting something that needs to be precise I would use a band saw. If it is something that is not prefect the blade runner is good. It reminds me of a table saw with jig saw blade. Hope this helps.

The "blade" is already blunt in that instead of coming to a sharp edge, it has a radius (curve) on it. I suppose if you wanted to flatten it by grinding, you could. However, I'd be careful in not going too much or too fast. You could take too much off, or overheat it, making weaker!

I don't think you have it pushed in all the way- it took me a while to figure out that unless there is a little "Click", the blade is not as far in as it needs to be for safety and stability. Makes it really hard to take it out-strong fingers needed but that's how it has to be. And this applies to all the blades. They click into place and once they have clicked, you can slice like crazy without any problems. Are you loving your slicer? We have been camping in a rental for a year and just moved into our "forever" home last weekend and have really missed our slicer. It will be a while before we unpack it but that will make the reunion all the better, I think.

Unfortunately, the head does not flip for edging; but the device is light enough to turn it in such a way to allow you to use it as an edger. I have done this and it works very well, especially with its very fast-running engine slicing through the thickest clump of curb over growth.

I'm not sure I understand your question. The blade is loose enough to be free-spinning.

The little black thumb slide on the side ( near the blade ) slides to move the blade gaurd. It may need to be moved several times to loosen it slightly. Be careful not to touch the blade. It is VERY sharp.

for chopping it works great only part of your blade is in the bowl.rock your blade back and forth while chopping, best knife ever.

nope. the blade is integrated and you would have to break it. I had that same issue.

I struggled with it too and gave it to my husband. He detached it easily so it isn't the blade; it was me. He thinks he might have pushed it in a little before twisting. Good luck. It really works great when it works!

It is easy (I'd youtube the videos because I'm a visual learner) BUT, I would caution you when changing the blades. Obviously you wouldn't put your fingers on the part where the razors stick out. But, even the sides of the razor (the unsharpened sides) can still cut your fingers if you put pressure on them when unscrewing the head.

Same here. It worked fine for a while, and suddenly, the blade wouldn't go back down. Can't figure it out.

It works by simply opening a tool or a blade into place and it "clicks" into place. It's also equally easy to release, you simply push the side button near the blade or tool to unlock it out of place.
