How do I attach the cutter to the machine? I just got this and have to say that the instructions leave a lot to be desired. Thanks to all. I am now cutting pasta.

Look at this http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=myuO863XT08Start At time 5 minute it shows the way to attach the cutter to the machine. Hope this helps. Good luck.

There are slots on the machine and cutter so It just slides into place. The directions are virtually worthless.

You are correct the directions leave a lot to be desired! It took us awhile to figure this out..lol. The cutter slides onto the machine on the grooves, that are located on the back of the machine. The grooves are vertical and the cutter slides down to correct position. The handle moves from machine to cutter. Not sure how else to describe that. I hope this helps! We do love this machine and it makes great pasta. We have learned that you have to let your pasta "rest" for 30 minutes before cutting it in machine, use a lot of flour and it won't stick so much. Good Luck!

There are slots that align with the pasta press to the noodle cutter. Just slide it on.

The cutter slides onto the front of the machine, there are slots in the cutter that slide into spaces in the front , where the pasta would come out of the machine. Hope this is clear.

Yes. It says the roller and cutter. It comes with a couple attachments for cutting pasta. My suggestion is use their recipe for the dough. It's good

Oneida has a pdf on their site. Guessing that I can't post a link here but if you replace the (dot) you might recreate the link - oneida com/media/Documents/mandolin_instructions.pdf . The printed instruction included in the box are a joke and a cautious person is not going to want to see if they can "figure out" how to install and remove the rows of super sharp and pointy blades.

Have a man do it. No, I'm kidding. There is a pin (or pins) like a bolt with a snap ring and some holes to line up between the handle thingy and the sliding potato pusher. It is mud simple and nearly unbreakable. Just be sure to use the correct corresponding cutters with the dies. Look through the bag and find a stainless steel cylindrical connecting pin, slide it through the holes in the handle and the slider pusher and screw the whole deal to your wall with BIG HEAVY LAG BOLTS. This cutter is restaurant quality and will not function properly if it is not bolted down. Good luck and good French Fries. I LOVE EM. Have a man do it. No, I'm kidding.

Press the button on either side of the handle and pull the handle out. if need be, use the handle side of a wooden spoon to push the core out. It is frustrating - I exerienced smae thing, minus the cut the first few times I used mine. Best wishes to you!

yes, I have used the roller without cutting the pasta in strips for lasagna or ravioli. Cutting the pasta is a two step process, first you use the rollers until the pasta is at the thickness you want and then you can use the cutter, but you don't have to.

Yes! I have never even made pasta before. Hardest part is kneding the dough. Roll, Roll, fold Roll, roll. cut. run through the cutter. Easy stuff.

It isn't exactly easy nor does it jump right out at you. To attach the blade you first put in the end closest to where your hands grip the handle. To get the outside end of blade on you lean on the cutter with the blade up and the end of the head on a stump or rock. This will close up the "C" enough to allow you get the blade onto the first indent in the end. You can also throw it in a vise to get it this far. Once you've got it that far you can just hit it very hard in the center of the blade and it will pop on all the way. Hope that helps.

There is a tool that you can use to get the blade out, it came w/the machine. I find I still have to search for the blade which tears the bread up. The instructions mention to grease the blade before putting it on the post. I DON'T do this. That way the blade will stay on the post when I tip the bread out of the pan. It is easy to remove the blade from the post after soaking in soap and water. If it still doesn't come off the post, you can twist the blade off by holding the blade and twisting it opposite directions with the silver thing on the outside of the pan on the bottom.

My experience has been that the double cutter that came with the machine makes totally square pasta that I couldn't ever get to cut cleanly and this spaghetti attachment makes pretty close to round spaghetti (just a little bit flattened). The spaghetti it makes is about the same size as the square pasta the included double cutter makes or is maybe a tiny bit bigger.

You just clamp it on an spin it. Its really easy an cuts great. Hope that helps you.

I have the pasta attachment instructions for the DLC7 pasta maker and would be happy to send same on to anyone who wants it...I find the pasta maker much too difficult to assemble and haven't used it in over 30 years. Originally purchased for $125.00 at Marshall Fields in Chicago. I now am back to using a manual Atlas machine.Asiana

I looked online for the instructions. I have used mine now for months. Neherel@yahoo.com is my email. I can answer any questions you have. Ask away... Jeremy

Ok, this is the roller, which, yes can make lasagna pasta. If you want a spaghetti, you would need the pasta cutters. I personally don't use the cutters anymore, I just roll out sheets of the pasta and hand cut to a fettucini or a papardelle. I find that the pasta cutters don't cut all the way through and sometimes that leaves you to have to pull the strands apart by hand. It all depends on the thickness of you sheet dough.

Is there a lasagna cutter? Even necessary?? It comes with a tagliatelle and tagliorini cutter - one thicker than the other

A chef friend of mine said not to use water. I've had issues, but crankbout excess dough and then use a fork to manipulate out what's left behind. When I hear dried pasta rattling I have to take it apart to dump the pieces out.
