Cuisinart has a thin slicing disc. There is one pictured to the left here, the one that is on top of the stack. Search on google or amazon cuisinart thin slicing disc.

It is pretty thin, but still you can't rip it easily. I used a dull blade on my silhouette cameo electronic cutter and it didn't cut all the way through. I could not just force it to pull apart. But, my blade is only set on a 2 out of 10 for depth. It is too thin to give a size

The manufacturer sells the pieces - I bought an extra spring, and two extra peeling blades and corer/slicer blades. They were inexpensive and shipped very quickly. I'm sure they'd be happy to help you if you contact them directly!

Would be too thick if you used the knife to guide. I don't have the knife anymore because of that- wasn't useful for cutting even slices.

You have the option for both thick and thin. However I have damaged a few blades and have to cut the potato in smaller pieces before passing it through the cutter.

I would let Amazon know and or also Black and Decker. If you have the order number, one of them will get you a blade I would think.

Ceramic blade has some play in housing. Instead, recommend super sharp ( or sharpenable) scissors for thin paper, or exacto knife type on flat surface.

Sorry, I have looked and looked and cannot find someone who offers a replacement blade. I saw one for $900 but that is 4 times the cost of the machine. Someone said you may sharpen the blade yourself. Lay it on a flat surface and use a very fine sand paper wrapped around a solid block of wood. Be very careful with the sanding strokes and you will be able to achieve a sharp cutting edge. I haven't tried that myself but I intend to.

The blade would have to be very narrow analogous to a knife. Also, something as large as a machete would tax the machine. You need something more industrial for that application.

I have heard you can use an electric carving knife for a clean cut.Good luck!

I don't think you can dice without making cuts with a knife the same distance apart as the blades you are using. This would be about 1/8" for the thin ones and 1/4" apart for the thick one. These cuts need to be made with a knife across the onion perpendicular (at right angles) to the direction it is pushed through the blades before you start slicing them.

I cant recall the blade, but take the blades that come with it, and go to a Home Depot. They sell packages of 5 or so that work.

there are metal cutting blade readly available. 1/8th inch steel is not a problem, and have cut thicker. Thickest I can remember was cutting down a well casing

Go to youtube and search for Weston Slicer. There are a few videos showing how to use a similar (7 1/2 inch) model but not this exact one.

You may want the widest type. The narrow has limited functionality. If you are familiar with whetstones you can sharpen the main cutting knife periodically. If you do it right it even sharper than a new slicer.

You would need a thin sharp blade---and don't forget technique! If you have a favorite sushi place watch theblade used and ask if you will. They are friendly to customer question.
