Will this cheese slicer slice thin enough for sandwich cheese?

I would say that it would, you would just need enough cheese to be able to hold while you are slicing.

Yes that's why I bought it since a knife just doesn't 'cut it' for thin regular slices of my specialty cheeses. This thing probably paid for itself in a week or two

Yes it will. You decide the thickness just by moving the cheese in postion under the cutter.

Hi Gary, I'm guessing you want to know how thick the piece of cheese will be. I just cut one, and it is about 2.5 mm thick. By the way, I am not that happy with the slicer. I had had it about two months when the handle developed a crack (it is a beautiful cheese slicer and handle (just like one I bought in Denmark)), and when I contacted the co. they didn't respond. I always wash my wooden handled equipment by hand, so it is not misuse that it is the cause.

I have found that I do need to stop and start a bit when slicing through a block of cheddar cheese fresh out of the refrigerator (not freezer). This is not a problem at all--just my two cents. Overall, I would recommend this slicer.

Yes, it's wide enough to slice a 5 pound block of cheese. And strong enough for the wire to hold up.

It does not have thickness options and it probably would not slice thin enough for potato crisps. I would suggest a mandolin for that.

yes. its good for anything you need to make thin & very even. only issue i can see for crackers is the final dough will be only as wide as the roller which is about 6".

I dont believe so. Its for veggies. I think it would be like any other knife and would squash down the cheese as you cut. Potatoes and tomatoes arent supposed to stick to it because of the little grooves, but they do anyway.

Yes, i have done cheese but very last piece of chs is about 1/4" thick. Ok for crackers

Don't know about bread but great for meat and cheese. It will slice to a little over a half inch thick.

Mine will not. I tried to use it chop up a block of cheddar. Even after I cut it into tiny cubes, it still would not cut it. The blade stuck in the cheese and then flew up out of place.

Sorry Tweety Bird .... You can only try it ..... The slices are really not very thick when cut using the slots on the slicer ..... Much thinner and you won't have much bread left �

The wire can be adjusted until it actually touches the opposing roller. As to how thin it can actually cut I would imagine it depends very much on the texture of the cheese. I cut sharp cheddar to give 1/16" slices. You need to be careful to keep the roller pressed on the cheese cutting face and use a nice even pressure.

Haven't tried it, but I think that mozzerella may be a little soft to cut with this slicer.

When you are not using the slicer it is suggested to set the blade to 0 so you can cut anything from the thinnest it can to up to 1/2 inch thick. I suppose the dip behind the blade edge would make it easier to cut cheese, because most cheese like to get stuck to the knife. There is a knob in the back to turn and it move the cutting plate back kind of quick, so you might need to adjust the cut once you do the first cut. I looked on line for blades that were smoother and I could get on for this instead of the serrated blade, but all the blades are the same design for the home slicers. You can see from the pictures that the blade is flat in front. Well, the blade is just like an ordinary knife with an angled cut like the shape of a v going around the blade. Just like many knives the cut things in an angle so does this blade, so after that first cut the back side is about a 1/16 of an inch off the cutting board. I cut up two rolls of meat, turkey and bologna and I cut most of the bologna in 1/6 of an inch slices, and part of the turkey into chipped meat and thick slices. I like the slicer and I looked to see how many people had problems, and this was the best one. I can tell you right now it will not cut bone like a bone saw, or frozen meat although I didn't try cutting frozen meat, but I used it to lice many things from Cucumbers to meat and cheese. Some soft cheese can leave a mess and it might be better to use an E string for an electric guitar, and if you need to cut a lot at once make a frame and put a lot of strings on it. I used them because the guitar strings are stainless steel and don't rust.

Cutting part is shiny and handle is brushed - it does slice pretty thin so I think this would be best for hard cheeses only.

IMHO the thickness is perfect for making cheese toast, grilled cheese sandwiches, or just for eating slices of cheese.
