Is this slicer able to cut out very thin layers of 0.5 to 1cm?

the overall answer is YES. the wire is designed to trim or cut the un-level part of the cake. so basically that is what you are trimming off.

Slow and steady is how it works. I haven't done anything less than about 1cm. It may get crumbly less than that but will still cut it off. Chill or even freeze the cake a little to help with the cutting.

No. The only adjustments you can make would be the amount of peeling that is pared and to slice/core or not slice at all.

The slices are quite thin: Just thick enough to hold together. I would estimate about 1/16 of an inch or possibly less. Think in terms of shaving rather than slicing.

I have done cuts as small as 1mm and they come out perfect. So far none of the cuts I have made have fail. As long as you have the Blade number, speed and thickness settings in the right numbers you won't have any problem, it does take a little practice, but there is a lot of videos about it. I always made a test on a scrap of paper.

I am sorry I can not help you . I do not know the answer I am using the blade the slicer came with as I am afraid to change the blade.... It is very sharp.... good luck

it's really meant to be a basic slicer. I guess you could lay a carrot or small potato "sideways" and make slices and then cut them into julienne pieces, but that may be a more advanced cut. However, if you only want thin 'shreds' and the shape isn't important, it could certainly do that on the thinnest setting.

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

The slices are about a half inch but can be cut thicker if you prefer. The distance is adjustable by choosing the slot to cut through. I like it and find it easy to use.

The knife part probably can cut thru the skin. I doubt the slicer end will cut clean thru.

Max about 1 inch. But you can control thinner slices...down to about 1/4 inch. One of the reasons I love this thing!

I don't think the cutter would work for thin (or thick) sheet metal. Even if it cut into the metal, as soon as it went through one of the cutting blades would snag and rip the metal sheet.

Would be too thick if you used the knife to guide. I don't have the knife anymore because of that- wasn't useful for cutting even slices.

It only has one size to slice and that is very thin. I think I would go with a more versatile slicer. I wouldn't buy this again

Yes, the US version has the slicers spaced at 0.375". The metric version has the slicers spaced at 9.525 mm. I hope that helps.

I honestly can't say, yet. I used it to slice & core some granny smith apples, twice, to sauté in a bit of butter & cinnamon sugar. It was automatically perfect for my task, so I haven't tried to adjust. The slices were maybe 3/8" thick.

It will adjust for thinness/thickness for slicing. I think you would need a different tool that has attachments in order to julienne something. Hope that helps.

This slicer is amazing!Super easy to use and has varied thickness options. Hope this helps.
