Does this blade make ice chips like the ice chips in a Sonic Cherry Limeaide?

It did but the second time I used it it broke. I then used the one that is a single blade and it worked perfect. You don't really need to buy this one is a waste of money and it breaks, I have already bought 2 and they both broke

I haven't tried chopping ice but I would try it with the food processor part.

Yes: It does essentially "shave" the Ice with a blade not "Crush" it by impact, However You do have the ability to control the thickness of the ice shavings by adjusting the blade on it's mount.Set it thin and you end with very fine shaved sno-cone ice, set it thicker and end up with little ice chipsperfect for serving shrimp cocktail and the like. You would not know this unless you had it apart far enough to remove the blade. It will do both well provided you set it properly. Unfortunately the manual does not cover this adjustment as I recall.

This machine has a fixed spinning blade that shaves the ice. It does NOT crush ice at all. It produces a fine snow. I hope this helps you.

Yes it works great with ice. I usually have ice or frozen fruit in it after 6 months I still have not seen the blades get dull. For best results do not fill to the top it needs some room to move around

No, it will adjust a little to shaved ice depth of cut but not like real crushed ice. You need a hammer and a towel or a polycarbonate pitcher (that won't break from ice chunks) blender for that.

Don't know-it was purchased as a gift and I only heard it was great for malts and shakes. I would suspect blades are too light for crushing ice-I wouldn't use it for that job.

yes, this is EXACTLY what I do with it. I also add ice, and use the ice crusher blade.

The ice blade isn't optional. That's the default blade for this model. What doesn't come with it is the food processor bowl shown in the photo.

I have never tried it with dry ice, however given that this does not crush but rather shaves combined with the very high torque of this unit I would think that it would be fine. The motor is very powerful and the blade appears very substantial.

yes it has a blade to make French fries. so fast and easy to put together and clean. Made pickles and was done in no time slicing 3 pounds.

It does a good job with ice cubes. It should be easier to shave flavored cubes as long as they are well frozen.

I don't have any way to answer your question as you don't state the reason for asking. The blade that came with my processor is fine. I haven't found it to be ddefective at all.

Yes, it does produces fine, smooth pieces of ice. I love this machine. Money well spent

After experiencing shaved ice from the Swan SI-100E Block Ice Shaver which was fluffy snow like ice. I came back to this one at home and it didn't compare. This one felt more like ice "gravel" compared to the fluffiness of the Swan device.

Works on frozen fruit in smoothies, but I wouldn't recommend it for crushing ice cubes. That's a job best left to a conventional blender. These blades really weren't meant for ice cubes nor would they go through the blade brackets.

Hi Mark, I bought the blender about 2 months ago. No optional blade came with it. The standard equipment does easily break up normal sized ice cubes and frozen berries, however. -- Bruce
