Can you remove the slicing mechanism from the tool and just do the coring part?

Unfortunately, no. It slices and decores all at once. The only piece that separates is the handle from the rest of it to get the pineapple off. Works great once you get the hang of it!
150611
No. Just two pieces - the handle, and the bottom part, which contains the corer/slicer.

Yes, with a saw. However, you will not be able to re attach it in a manner that it will be usable again.

I usually just pry from the phillips end, then pull on the flat part of the knife end. Its easier once you get the hang of it.

Thank you for your question. Yes, you an remove the foot plate and guides to start a cut from the center. If you have further questions please feel free to contact our Bosch Customer Service Representatives at 1-877-BOSCH-99 (1-877-267-2499)

don't see how, it's a few millimeters past the end of the connectors. You can always cut it (with flush trim cutters) and then pull it back a few millimeters. I think you'd still get the twist maintained way closer to the pins (on the back end) than doing it conventionally

Nope. You need to flip the piece over and cut it toward the first cut. But there goes your precision.

If I understand what you want to do, this is how I think it could be done. Don't push the outer tube thru, twisting as you push to desired depth, remove tool and probably using a thin sharp knife, cut out the core to be removed, probably in pieces to desired depth. There is no part of the tool that will cut the core, as it is intended to go all the way through so the plunger can then push the core out the bottom of the apple, etc.

The only way I think you could do that is if you put a sacrificial piece of wood mounted to the piece to screw to the head stock and then cut it off. I would not recommend that though. Best to use the right tools, you always get better results. BTW, this is a great little lathe, I've used it for over a year now. No issues. First one shipped damaged, no issue with the return and shipment of another.

If you mean does it come off while working with it, all I can say is, not so far. If you want to know if it's possible to remove it, download the operator's manual and parts list on Makita's website.

It is not difficult, as there is a "button" you depress on the top of the tool to detach the item you are using, and replace it by snapping in the attachment you want. The drill and sander work fine for me, but the jig saw was not great.

No, but you can take the middle piece off with a knife, it takes a couple minutes but it makes it thumb friendly.

Yes. Just snap open a chain link and then close again using pliers. I actually used existing chain and wire.

It is removable so you can clean out the core. The push to release buttons seem reasonably strong. The thing works well so far x4. Since it is a spiral cutter, all the rings are attached one to another. This has been no problem. A sharp knife cuts them apart nicely.

I have had no luck doing that. Other than thick and thin slicing, this tool mangles fruits and vegetables with the other blade options. It is a huge disappointment.

The thin slicer disc slices pretty thinly. I suppose you could although Ive never done it.

Well I'm not looking at mine at the moment but I imagine you could but before I got out the knife I would take a good long look at the fittings to see if you can remove them without destroying them. If that is possible then I would reattach in the reverse way you removed it. Should you not be able to remove one end or the other I suggest calling Bosch and speak to a Technician. You can try Bosch directly or you could try CPO Bosch.

No, it core and slice at the same time. You can peel without slicing or coring
