Does this also roll the pasta or is that a separate attachment?

It's a separate attachment. Kitchenaid sells a package called the KPRA WHICH INCLUDES THE PASTA ROLLER PLUS FETTICCINE AND SPAGHETTI ROLLERS. This is a supplementary kit for that one. You can also buy the roller separately. It's called the KPSA. Hope that helps.

It doesn't look like it. Seems odd to me that they would sell the two cutter attachments without the roller attachment. http://www.amazon.com/KitchenAid-KPRA-Roller-Attachment-Mixers/dp/B00004SGFS/ref=pd_sim_k_4 contains both of these cutters, along with the roller attachment. The set makes homemade pasta a breeze to make.

not at all! motor is a modern addition. pasta has been rolled by hand for years. Great machine.

It's geared more toward rolling out pasta once you've formed it into a ball of dough. I think you would need a bread kneader attachment on a processor.

If you purchase the set it comes with a roller and two cutters: one spaghetti and one fettucini. The roller can roll to a variety of thicknesses as well.

It us manual. It uses a hand crank. So you crank with one hand and have to catch the pasta with the other. Or you can have a helper catch the pasta. I have my kids help me.

Well, first, you need a roller attachment to run the dough thru several times until you reach the desired thickness for the pasta, secondly, you'll need the pasta cutter which will cut the dough rolled out into various types of pasta, for example, fettechini, spaghetti. The pasta roller also acts as a lasagna roller. Most sets are sold in three pieces, the dough roller, and two attachments for various kinds of pasta. So, I recommend getting the roller and the two pasta cutters for various styles of pasta. Buying them separately is more expensive. Buy the three attachment set and save yourself some grief.

No. What you see in the picture is it. It does turn and pull out, but no other attachment. Works great, though.

Ok, this is the roller, which, yes can make lasagna pasta. If you want a spaghetti, you would need the pasta cutters. I personally don't use the cutters anymore, I just roll out sheets of the pasta and hand cut to a fettucini or a papardelle. I find that the pasta cutters don't cut all the way through and sometimes that leaves you to have to pull the strands apart by hand. It all depends on the thickness of you sheet dough.

Yes, it includes both. Thickness depends on how thick the pasta sheets are rolled out. The set determines the width - wide or angel hair.

If you just want sheets of pasta, you can use the main wheel that helps you fold and roll the pasta to whatever thickness you want. It has a selector switch to roll the pasta sheets to your specified thickness.

The pasta roller doesn't cut the pasta, you need a cutter for that. When you cut the noodles it is about ¼ inch wide. It is like a noodle you would buy in the store. You can adjust the roller to the thickness. yes it does come out flat like a noodle. If you want spaghetti then you need to buy that particular roller. I hope this is helpful to you.

There are three attachments. One is a pasta roller and the other two are the cutters. The words "Spaghetti" and Linguini" are engraved on the top of the individual cutters. The words are lightly engraved so you may have to look closely. The roller is not engraved.

I never have done that, but if you were to make your pasta dough and roll it out really thin, I dont see why you couldn't roll the miner length wise across - the blades are spaced far enough apart that you could have a linguini thickness I'd think. This works SO well to mince herbs quickly - its honestly worth the cost just for that! If it works for pasta too, then thats a bonus :)

The small black knob does not make a difference on how the roller will function, both work well in rolling pasta pasta dough.

well, it mixes automatically and spits out the pasta on its own. But, if the dough gets too balled-up, sometimes you have to break it in small pieces so that it will feed properly. Also, you need to be there with it to trim the pasta into the lengths you want when it comes out. Hope that helps.

they are "model" numbers, and refer to the width of the machine (in mm) and the pasta you can make with it. the customer above who complains about "no attachments" for the 180 is referring to the "180 Pasta ROLLER" machine; the "180 Pasta MAKER" machine comes with the cutting attachments you need to make pasta. It is naturally more money than just the roller machine and you can find it here.

Maybe you are referring to the attachment for the pasta roller machine (other brands), which is not the kitchenaid one. In this case, you are right it is much more expensive. I love these pasta roller, I even use it for fondant and it works great
