Are the blades adjustable to make thinner or thicker slices?

Well, there are different plates for making thin and thick slices. The blades in the plates themselves are not adjustable.

Don't buy it. You will cut your finger off like everyone else did. I used it once. Sliced my finger off and immediately threw it in the trash.

no you cannot adjust the slices, but it's the coolest little gadget that I have purchased this year and the kids love the slices...

Not that I've seen. If you find some, be sure to use longer screws to attach them or the screws will just fall out. I broke the plastic guides on my first slicer because I was using a knife that was too short. I believe the knife I am currently using is at least 10".

Got for son and daughter in law who make their own bread. Slices are thick but don't know if wide.

Susan, I'm not sure. My husband usually does it and the slices come out pretty thick. Maybe it's the amount of pressure you apply. He loves it!

I just cut some mozzarella but cut it about 1/4 inch without a problem.. I haven't tried to slice anything thin as yet..

The thickness cannot be adjusted. The slices are 1/4 to 3/8". I canned mine and made a pie last night. If used fresh the slices probably wouldn't cook to pieces. The taste is the same and there were no complaints about big chunks of apple missing from the pie. I really save a lot of time and effort by using this device--a whole box of apples from the grocery store in about 35-45 minutes. Really saved my wrists and hands!

Sorry but I cannot say for sure what the thicknesses are for the 3 blades. I put them into the two blade holder boxes from Cuisinart, and I do not recall which blades were with the original set and which I added from the set you asked about.

One stationary blade with the bed angle adjustable for slices from 1/32'' to 1/4'' thickness.

Yes, there is a dial on the side that allows you to adjust the depth of the slice. I've made potato chips from it as well as french fries!

I would say thin, but not wafer thin. The slices were still substantial. Some were about 1/4 inch or 4-5 mm. I don't remember exactly.

Hello, no the slice thickness is determined by the depth the cutting blade is set at - and as this is a basic, plastic product, its pre-moulded therefore not adjustable.I trust this helps.

No, the blades are not adjustable however they can be removed for sharpening.

No, the blade is smooth and offers a smooth cut, with an adjustment of slice thickness.

YES. I thought the slices were a bit too thin for me so I bought some plastic washers to put in between the slice bars. Very well made piece. It should last for many years.

The adjustable slicers are not double-edged so they cut only on the stroke away from the handle. The blade is fixed in place and the "table" on the handle end adjusts up and down to provide the different thicknesses, 0.5, 1.3, 2.0 and 3.0 mm. The double-edged slicers cut as the food is moved in both directions at 1.5 mm thickness. I prefer the adjustable one, but the 1.5 mm is a good compromise. Watch the videos provided by other reviewers. They both cut quickly and very good, including a tiny slice off a finger! Your bleeding may vary. ;~)

OK, I don't have a millimeter measurement to give but the blade is a very heavy razor blade that's sharpened with a bevel on the bottom side and flat on top. Depending what you are cutting some stuff will slice thinner than others. Something hard like a carrot or potato can be extremely thin, but tomatoes will mush up if they are ripe and you try to make the same thin slice. You can adjust it so thin that it stops cutting.I mean harder stuff can be paper thin. I hope that's clear.
