Can I use this to chop apples in small pieces?

Small pieces as in to eat afterwards. Then no. It makes the really small and kind of watery from the products that you are chopping to cook with or put into some dish.

I have never tried chopping those items, but it has no problems with large pieces of other vegetables such as onions so I would thing it would work fine.

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

Definitely! I used mine to chop carrots for soup all the time. You do need to cut the carrots into about 3 inch lengths, to fit on the cutting blade (or just use baby carrots). If the carrot was really, really thick, I sometimes split it lengthwise. More so the pieces would be uniformly sized more than that the chopper couldn't handle it.

No. This is for hobby parts. A chop saw or cutoff saw much better and safer, and more square.

They make seperate inexpensive tools to slice apples, I think this would be too big for an apple.

I would trust it for most smaller chopping, probably up to soothing as thick as a Campbell's soup can. It would take effort because the knife is so light but it is sturdy enough. As for small branches and saplings if you went at a angle to the tree you could probably pull it through anything smaller than your middle finger. There are some great examples on YouTube of this knife in action, equipped to endure does a really through review.

I think you could - just remember to follow the instructions on how long the spurts of chopping should be. But I would use this for the chopping and then to puree I would use one of the hand blenders - that would make it really smooth.

Yes you can, just make sure the pieces are cut a little big. For smaller pieces there is a plate that can be purchased for that.

I think you can, but this may be more than you need for a single yard project. There are cheap non sliding 10' chop saws that may not be much more heavy.

I've used mine just once for making applesauce and it turned out great - smooth but nice texture. If you like it chunky you're best to just chop the apples and cook the chunks. Mostly I use it on food-processored chili pods, onions & fresh herbs for making chili. Like with a food mill the more liquidy stuff comes out first and the drier & more fibrous stuff at the end. I typically stop the machine when the strained matter starts looking a bit dry.

Absolutely. We use it to shred carrots and cabbage for coleslaw, but if you use the larger slicing disc, it would be great for chopping veggies for soup, etc.This is a great product. We purchased it a year ago and it still works like new :)

U could if you wanted a large rough cut......but for seeds etc I would use a small food processor instead, or a coffee grinder.

I would probably use a large cleaver or a knife that is a lot larger to cut it down to manageable pieces then use the Mac to finish it. You have to be careful the knife is very sharp use care and common sense keep your fingers out of the way, enjoy this knife it is a work of art and fun to use. Safety first is the motto when using any sharp object. Cook away.

I don't see why not. You will need to do small amounts at a time. The ulu is great for chopping herbs, too.

Yes, you can peal the apples without slicing them but it won't core them without slicing them. It works great! I highly recommend one.

Not really the only thing you can do is adjust the depth of the blade so it doesn't cut as deep....it will leave some peel on the ends but you save a ton of the Apple. Uneven apples and large apples don't do as well with this peeler. I have done potatoes and small apples and it works great.
