Does it adjust to cutting french fries and how thin or thick is the cut?

It comes with three cutters. One is 6mm dice, one is 9mm dice and one is 6mm slice. I haven't used the slice cutter but I don't think it would do french fries. Great product, would buy again.

This item is probably not the best for cutting french fries. This machine is most suited for dicing vegetables into small cubes (there are three different sizes of cube cuts available via the interchangeable blades), so it would be good for making hash browns if you didn't have a preference for the shoe string style hash browns. However, you would still have to cut the potato into smaller chunks at first though. This machine is made of plastic, so trying to dice a large potato all at once may result in the lever mechanism breaking. I have found that this machine is best at dicing vegetables with a certain consistency as well (not too gooey, otherwise chunks will not dice properly and/or will get stuck in the blades). Ideally, it would be used to dice onions, and this is primarily what I use it for.

I have to be honest, it cuts fries, but a dedicated fry cutter would be better, it's the design, it limits the length of the fry, it works, but your fries are short and stubby.

The assembly would not be good for french fries as the potato is cut in a downward movement that would only allow for about a 3" french fry. It is a great product and we love it however I would NOT purchase it if my goal was to create French Fries.

It will adjust for thinness/thickness for slicing. I think you would need a different tool that has attachments in order to julienne something. Hope that helps.

Not very thick...maybe about 1/8" or so. It is usable on both sides as well as both edges for a total of 4 usable cutting surfaces as the blades don't run down the center of the mat.

There's a "slider" to adjust the thickness of the cut -- but not a huge difference between the three. The two thinnest I'd call "paper thin". The thickest cuts about 1/32" of an inch thick - perfect for carrot "coins".

I don't know how thick it is, but I bought it for my mom in china, and she told it's too sharp, and it's easily to cut meat and vegetable for Chinese food.

It is very thin, but adheres to the counter top very well. It rolls up thinner than a paper-towel tube, but unrolls perfectly flat. I would not recommend cutting with sharp knives on it, as I have already made some slits in mine. However, I would buy it again.

Hello, The blades do not adjust for thickness;however, there are several types of blades for different foods which work well for me. I truly hope this helps you make your choice of a food processor. I do enjoy having all the options of the Euro Prep offers as it helps me prepare lots of different foods. The dough attachment is great! as I like to make bread and pizza dough.

When the blade is removed, the gears visible are plastic.My biggest complaint is "slippage" in the thickness control....when one is slicing, it's natural to press the food item against the plate that sets the thickness, and it responds by moving slightly on each slice - meaning that unless one is paying attention and resets things every few slices, one is faced with thicker and thicker pieces (in my case) of meat for jerky. Not good.

The knife has a thin blade and thus has a little give to it. However, the thin blade makes dicing small items like shallots and garlic a breeze. If you are cutting up a potato, for instance, the blade will give a little and not make the perfect cut. This is my go to knife for the small stuff. It stays sharp with a little care.

Its pretty thick havent exacrtly measured it but its very very durable...doesnt chip easily either. It is probably one of the sharpest knifes i own if taken care of properly. This knife can handle a lot.

Yes, this Weston French Fry cutter comes with the 3/8" blade. You can also buy other size blades 1/4" and 1/2" if you want thinner or thicker fries.

I'm not sure what the actual degree of thinness is, the dial doesn't have settings of dimension. You can dial it thin enough for French dip beef.

It's not adjustable for thick and thin slices, but in my opinion, as it is really more convenient to use than the more complicated and more expensive adjustable mandolines, as there's no setup and easy to clean. So it's great for those quick jobs making homemade potato etc .

You have two cutter's; one is thick and the other is thin. And if they are not thick enough you can always use the Corer. I like thick fries so that is my choice. Thanks!
