What thicknesses is this tool able to slice? I would like to slice carrots about 1/16 inch thick (1.6 mm) not paper thin.

It is thicker than literal paper-thin, there is definitely some substance to it. I can't tell you exact measurements.

This will work. Not paper thin at all. I use it on carrots as well as papayas, etc ...

You can slice pretty close to paper thin but remember this is not an automatic slicer. You have to push the meat across the blade and the guide and back of the machine are plastic. If you push just a little too hard the plastic back gives and you end up with a thicker slice than you want.

Yes and No. I had the wider version, and the cutting surface is just 3.75 inches wide (measured with a caliper), which will require you to quarter your cabbage. In addition, per the enclosed instructions, this model is only capable of cutting to a thickness of 3.0 millimeters, and you can not possibly make it cut any thicker without breaking the unit. I used my calipers to accurately measure the maximum thickness cut possible and it was .180 thick. So, given how much time and effort you want to put into slicing your cabbage heads, and your desired thickness, this wider model may or may not work for you. Best of luck.

My granddaughter has mine at the present but I think you can adjust the blade so it slices thicker.

Could you please tell me if it does carrot or zucchini "pasta" ? if it could shred these two veggies like a noodle or pasta thickness?Thank you

The slice thickness is about 1/4" or 5mm. It is dependent on the thread pitch on the feed screw and therefore not adjustable.

It is a continuous slice (like an accordion) about 1/8 inches in thickness. I use it to also slice for my dehydrator. Slices can also be chopped to add to cake mixes.

I think the grater is going to be okay, but the material isn't substantial enough to make the slicer useful - it buckles a bit when I've tried to slice carrots on the diagonal. Which can actually make it dangerous if you should slip.

The blade is 3/16" thick. I don't know how to measure the tang, as it is not a conventional tang. LOL! One solid piece of 1085 carbon steel, don't think you have to worry about breaking it under normal use. Very nice knife.

Diameter can be up to approximately 3 1/2 inches and slices are approximately 1/4 inch thick.

I had an oxo and a larger Industrial size as well and I tossed all In Favor of my beneiner. The beneiner can be made to slice any thickness, not just "settings" that can limit you. I can do paper thin slices and custom slices where others can't. It's also not clunky and awkward once you get used to handling it. I have two of them and I'm a chef as well and we have two at our restaurant. They can be Sharpened by any knife sharpener and if you know how to sharpen a blade properly, you can gently do it yourself. I wholeheartedly approve and I bet you you'll find yourself reaching for the beneiner in favor of all the others. I already got one for my beau for Christmas!

I have used it to slice carrots and it works very well - have not done the julienne. But I have used the julienne on zucchini and I have used the bigger julienne blade on potatoes to make French fries and they both worked well.

Patti... I have never cut steel any thicker than 1/2 inch. Cutting tip works well for this. ~~don ~~

I'm not sure. It is a wonderful device, but I've always used it to slice cucumbers, carrots, onions etc. I don't see why you couldn't slice along the length of the vegetable and slice that way...although you might have to cut into thinner pieces afterward. I love this item, but it is very sharp, and you must use the safety handle!!!

I honestly don't know. I have used my cutter to slice parchment but nothing thinner than that. It does a nice job on parchment....doesn't leave a frayed edge or not cut cleanly. I would think if your blade is sharp the cutter would do a fine job.
