does this cutter have the wire guide? I have had nothing but bad luck with that feature!

There is no wire with this cutter. It is very easy to see where this blade will cut and is extremely accurate. This one is worth the cost.

On my old one ...there is a guide wire in the middle of the plastic piece that moves up and down to hold the paper. The cutter is also on that piece. The cutter shreds the wire. I hate it!

Not totally sure what you mean, so I will go with "no." I can tell you that the light that was supposed to guide the cutting blade is basically just a dim LED work light...not so much like a laser line to guide the cut. (At the price, I guess I shouldn't have been surprised, but I sorta was.)

Not sure what is meant by wire guide. Most parts are plastic, including the lip up top that the paper rests against. I never had a problem, always a precise cut.

I would suggest you go to the hardware store or search on Amazon for wire cutters. Don't ruin a good pair of scissors. Breaking it would leave dangerous sharp edges.

Unfortunately, not on this model. Leatherman has at least one multitool with replaceable wire cutters (I think it's the Rebar..?). But the cutters on the Charge are very strong. Hope that helps!

Yes it does. They are very hard steel for cutting hard wire, like fishing hooks.

No. It will make the cut, but it does not follow a straight line very well unless the tool (NOT THE BLADE) is supported securely. You can't use a blade-guide because the carbide cutting blade will make short work of anything it contacts...including a metal straight-edge.

Good evening Surya. This item comes with cut out squares for your wires. I was able to cut right through it and follow the lines with. A simple box cutter.

I am not familiar with your machine but I must say I could not in all good conscience recommend the cutter. Save your money.

Yes, if you use the cutter without the plastic guides. There are two guides that come with the unit. The closer one cuts to about 1/4 inch. The other cuts longer, but I haven't used it, so can't say how long that would be.

I've found the wires (ordered 5 spares) but, not the feet. If you do find them, please PM me. I'm getting this slicer and I'd *love* to know where to get spare parts.

No, but I've had one of these for about ten years now, and it's just started having problems cutting within the past month. I looked to see if it could be fixed, but it looks like I'm better off just to replace it.

Yes it does come with the link wire. The link wire connects to one caliper arm and then to the main cable from the lever at a clamping bolt. The main cable from the lever then runs on to the other caliper arm. This allows flexible adjustment because both the clamp connecting the two cables and the clamp for the main cable at the caliper arm can be adjusted.

I scored the wire with my wire cutters and bent it at scoring to cut. Good luck.

A replacement wire came with my slicer and I haven't had to use it yet, so I have no idea where to go for a replacement. Good luck.

No laser guide on the one that came in my set. However, I don't usually use a laser guide. I prefer just watching the blade follow a chalk line. If I really do need a very straight cut, I clamp down a straight edge and run the saw along it.

It comes with several (5-6?) replacement wire elements. I've used my cutter a fair amount so far & am still on the 1st wire

Go to Prodyne web site. According to info w/my slicer, the wire is $1. They are warranted against breakage. Check it out, or give them a call.

My wire has not come loose so I haven't had a need to find one. However, I looked around and here's what I found. There's an amazon seller who sells this same exact slicer, but also includes a spare wire. (http://www.amazon.com/Norpro-330-Cheese-Slicer/dp/B000HMB0IM/ref=aag_m_pw_dp?ie=UTF8&m;=A3IPUI0LQFAKA) You might contact them to see a) if they can sell you just the spare wire or b) if they can tell you where they get their spare wires. I also found a completely separate website that sells spare wires. (http://www.cheeseslicing.com/site/681068/page/623049) You will need to measure yours to see which one will fit; they have diagrams and pictures for all the different wires they sell.
