For the slicer, how many inches thick does it make the slices?

1/8 inch slices.... If your stem is not secured tightly then yes you will break it.... Remove the bowl and twist the stem tightly till it pops in to place....then mount it back to base....

I think it's about an 1/8...if it manages to slice long enough before the main stem breaks. I wouldn't get this processor. I replaced the stem twice (so did many others who wrote reviews)....threw the whole thing in the trash and will request something better on my wedding registry.

Also the blade is adjustable to make thick to paper-thin slices if that what you meant.

my slicer did not work. it was not adjustable and only had one blade that was too thin for doing a cabbage slice or potatoesno i would not buy it.

no adjustment for thickness and it cuts it in a spiral form like a slinky. slices are about 1/8th of an inch

We bake our own bread and slice it thick -- about 3/4 inch maybe to an inch thick -- no problem.

I cannot answer your question, as I have had terrible results from this particular slicer. Needless to say I am disappointed with the slicer, I could not get it to work either. The images display multiple strands coming from the slicer at one time, I only ever had one strand come from mine.

"the cutting depth is 1 3/16, cutting material up to 2 inches thick". That is a quote right from the box. Your cutting depth is limited because of the bar that holds the two cutting blades.

Just measuring a 7-1/4" Blade at max Depth it looks like 2-7/16". I haven't tried to cut anything thicker than that and then measure the cut to know more accurately.

No... it just slices... but is great for three different thicknesses of slice ... saves me incredible time in the kitchen making salads... and is worth every penny!

im away from actually looking at it so i cant be specific. probably not that thick but getting there. if your doing a lot of slicing as it sounds like you are you probably should buy it, you will be happy with it.

I don't know the measurement, but pretty thick-I don't use it for a thick slice-I use it for uniform, very thin slices that I cant do by hand.

never measured but I would say close to an 8th of an inch or less even, this is effected by the material involved. You can slice cucumber a lot thinner than celery for example.

No it could cut half inch slices at the thickest it could not cut anything to a four or six inch final thickness

On the bottom of the slicer between the blade and the handle there is a square block 3-1/8"long (8cm) that sits on the same angle as the blade. You rotate it by 1/4 turns it has the numbers 0.5, 1.3, 2.0 and 3.0 which are the thicknesses. I don't know how accurate hey are I just pick the one I want.Martin

You can slice pretty close to paper thin but remember this is not an automatic slicer. You have to push the meat across the blade and the guide and back of the machine are plastic. If you push just a little too hard the plastic back gives and you end up with a thicker slice than you want.

Deborah I can't tell you for sure because I rebuilt the slicer to a 5" wide loaf to fit my bread pans. I'm going to guess that it was 6" or very close to that.

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!
