I spent a lot of time separating the pasta after it went throw the cutter in another pasta machine, is this the case with this attachment as well??

Depends on the style of the cut. Fettuccine works fine, angel hair takes some separating from my experience.

I believe that's very much dependent on the ingredients you choose, but we have not had that problem with ours. The noodles come out in good shape and don't seem to require much separation after they're run through the cutter.

The pasta comes out separated you don't have to pull it apart if that's what your asking. If you just clump it together after you run it through it will sometimes stick back together if you do not dust it with flour.

No not at all the cuts are clean and all pasta comes out separate. Just have to make sure you roll enough in the roller to the proper thickness. I like 3 for my final thickness and add a little cornmeal and flour to the top to help it roll smoothly

Nope- doesn't mix. Make pasta dough separately - you do the work! (but fun) --- then machine does great job of processing dough in to pasta-of-choice

The cutting attachment for fettuccine and spaghetti comes with the unit. The hand crank plugs into the side of either part to operate function.

It cuts spaghetti size and fettuccine size and comes with pasta roller. I love mine and have no problems with it. I make a double batch of homemade noodles and freeze half of them for later.

You will need to have a separate attachment to roll your pasta. To see how this works, there is an excellent video on YouTube with Peter Pasta http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dufoH9mFEeE

Maybe you are referring to the attachment for the pasta roller machine (other brands), which is not the kitchenaid one. In this case, you are right it is much more expensive. I love these pasta roller, I even use it for fondant and it works great

Just received my set, it comes with 4 attachments of which one of these attachments makes two different types of pasta. One attachment makes spaghetti, one makes ravioli, one makes reginette, and the attachment with two makes fettuccine and tagliolini. It also states it makes lasagne on the box.

The set I have has cutters for linguine and fettuccine, typical widths for those pastas. The cutters are deep enough that I suppose you could roll a thick piece of dough and make thick egg noodles, but, yes, that would be a function of the roller, not the cutter. As far as I know, they don't have a noodle cutter for anything a wide as pappardelle. The noodle cutters also do a nice job cutting very thin pasta, and the roller has settings from 1 to 8, 8 being thin enough to be transparent. This attachment makes pasta-making very quick and easy.

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!

I had to buy a new pasta machine because my Atlas did not fit with the Norpro Motor. I think I bought a Norpro pasta machine so they would be compatible. But it was worth it, because now I can make my homemade pasta in half the time and I can do it without my husband's help and no more sore arms.

no, the Marcato Atlas is a roller to roll out the dough flat...what you want is a pasta extruder...to see an example, search for "KitchenAid KPEXTA Stand-Mixer Pasta-Extruder Attachment" here on Amazon, and you'll see the difference. A lot of kitchen food processors have pasta extruder attachments for them...I have an old OLD Oster Kitchen Center from like the 70's, and I got a pasta attachment for it...haven't tried it yet, but I will now that I'm up and running with the roller...which is GREAT by the way! took practice, you can't just make perfect pasta the first time, you have to have patience to learn, but it is SO worth it!

no, this makes Linguini, which is flat and narrow. You want Spaghetti, which that attachment comes with the Marcato Atlas machine. Or you want Angel Hair Pasta, which is very small round spaghetti and is a different attachment. I have all of these and love every single one. Fresh pasta cooks in like 3 minutes!

I haven't had any problems at all with the attachments. This is a really good dryer, this was my second one. The first one lasted for years so I wanted to replace it with the same dryer.

It comes with the cutter shown. One side is for spaghetti, one for fettuccine. There are other cutters that you can buy as well.

There are three attachments. One is a pasta roller and the other two are the cutters. The words "Spaghetti" and Linguini" are engraved on the top of the individual cutters. The words are lightly engraved so you may have to look closely. The roller is not engraved.

Not quite fully automatic. Once it's done kneading the dough you must remove the dough block slide. Then you have to cut the pasta to the desired length as it's extruded. This machine works VERY well!

If you are referring to a small knob located on the part that is inserted into the front of the mixer (the hub), it is designed to seat neatly in the notch of the hub. This keeps the pasta roller from spinning when the machine is on. I'm not sure about any other knob. I am very happy with this attachment (after almost a year of use). It works very nicely ... I've rolled out pasta and perogi dough with this attachment. Save your money and purchase this one (if you're debating between the two?).
