Can you disengage the peeler and just core and slice?

Yes. All you need to do is loosen the wing nut to disengage the peeler. Then you can slice without peeling.

No, the actual slicing part is not remove able. Only the black plastic handle comes off.

If you didn't get an instruction booklet go to http://norpro.com/uploads/pdf/860_866r-instructionbook.pdf. Hope that will help you. Machine will peel, core and slice all at one time or pare only, core/slice only. See booklet. Don't think it will slice thicker or thinner if that is what you are after.

You can peel or not peel The corer and slicer are the same piece so you always get coring and slicing.

Yes , I'm not sure if she would be able to pull the slicer / corer back when bottom is reached.It gets harder when the juices create some kind of vacuum and hold tight on the tool making it hard to remove.

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

There is no adjustment for the thickness of the slice, nor can you remove or disable the corer as it is part of the slicer. You can adjust the thickness of the peel that it removes.

Yes. You can remove the piece that slices and cores. Then you would only peel the apple. You cannot core without slicing too.

Yes you can peel-only by removing the corer/slicing blade, per directions. You can peel only, core and slice only, or peel, core and slice. You cannot core only or slice only since it has an integrated 2in1 blade for core/slice and a separate blade and mechanism for peeling.

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.

I don't know why not. Simply put the onion in the slicer like a potato, slice it, and the onion should come apart like it was diced.

Just remove the piece you cut, you don't want to lock it up again till you're finished with it for the day...

Yes, once the Spine (back) of the knife is squared off enough and not rounded, yes you can, I do. You don't want to use the blade edge unless you have to. It will dull the edge.

I think you can, but it would probably not be able to go back on. Once you remove it it's off for good. In th pictures it is a seperate piece. If that is what then go for it, a very great knife you will like it.

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

If you remove the slicer you also remove the corer. It will only be peeled.

You push the plunger to remove the core. I am careful not to touch the end or around the plunger, as it is sharp.
