No, N....its a large hole shredding blade.They sell a fine shredding blade but it'll cost an arm & a leg,I think I spent almost $60 on one for my 14 cup model...just so I could make carrot cakes.And btw....it tends to get clogged, so it wasn't really worth it.Rather than dirty & have to wash all those parts of the FP I just drag out the old manual fine shredder & take 2 minutes & a little elbow grease to do the job.

Get a v-slicer (mandoline). I read all the amazon reviews and got one. I love it. It does many of the same jobs as a food processor for less money and mess. It will take care of your veggies.

The shredder blades are too small for a moist vegetables. What you need to use is the slicer blade. It has long slots on it.

I would suggest the larger one for the bigger jobs. The small one is great for a smaller amount. It WILL do the job for you but will take longer. I do not have a food processor and so use mine quite frequently for most everything I want sliced or shredded. The booklet that came with the saladshooter says that you need the extra attachment for shredding cheese. (not real sure why) The extras are for thicker slicing and finer shredding then the one that come with it.

I don't know if the manufacturer offers shredder blades for the potato grater or not. The speed of the grater is not adjustable and may be too high for the shredding process. Before I discovered this grater, I thought about making my own grating blades for another food processor. I thought about cutting blades from a square metal hand grater. This is the 4 sided type with each side having a different pattern. This may be an alternative for you to try since the two blades are small and probably could be cut with a pair of tin snips. Use the original grating blades for a pattern.

It is definitely strong/sharp enough to fut through a potato. I do it all the time. On carrots I cut and then roll so that the cuts are in opposite sides (a bit OCD here). The trick is to hold it with the thumb and first finger above the actual blade. Easy peasy.

The carrots would be fine enough for me for a carrot cake. And soooo easy! This is the only way to go when it comes to shredding carrots!

Yes, it is. Chose to set the screws so that the finest shreds are produced. I wanted a floss-like shredding of cabbage to make sauerkraut... It is everything I hoped for. If you rest this across a big plastic tub (such as you can find in the oriental food stores (they use them all the time)), you can hold the shredder against the kitchen counter wall with your belly. This makes it easy to use two hands to shred heads of cabbage, meaning you don't tire out and can therefore remain in control; less risk of slipping into the sharp blades. After nearly 160 lbs of cabbage in two days, without any "close calls", I feel this is a very safe practice. Further, on the safety topic: the unit has an industrial-grade thick plastic sliding box that allows you to rest both hands, while racking the food back and forth, and only dip your fingers far enough into the blade area to cause the food to make good contact with the blades, and not "slip" into the blades. Happy Shredding!

I guess it depends on how fine you want. with the fine disk, I would think it would be like marzipan or a little coarser.I use it to grind potatoes for potato pancakes/latkes and to make strawberry jam (with a little texture left - not puree like from a blender). It has a coarser disk as well (about 50% bigger holes) to that would make a grind. Think about how you could use this to make sausage - there is coarse sausage like coarse Italian sausage (big disk), fine sausage like breakfast link sausage (small disk), and super fine (like hot dogs - which this doesn't really do).

I just got a new bowl that is supposed to fit my DLC super pro but the top I have does not fit on it. nor does my daughter's top which is from a different DLC 7 series machine.I am in the process of finding out how to proceed since my machine has not been used so much and is very good and very powerful and I do want to get to use it again.

Does this accessory pack come with a piece that will shred cabbage. I wore out my last one (not a KA). I make lots of eggrolls and need to shred about 6 heads for each batch. Any opinion is greatly appreciated.

I think it shreds cabbage very well. I use mine all the time for this purpose.

I haven't ever had any issues. Nevertheless, to be sure, I just shredded sharp cheddar cheese with the fine attachment and had complete success.

This shredder is a fake. It is or was advertised as a diamond cut. When I received it the cut was regular, not acceptable and I sent it back. My advice, go to Walmart and buy a Fellows Small Cut shredder. Hope I helped.

Be aware that the 2 disks that come with the Handy Prep are much smaller than those that come with the larger processors. I'm not at all sure that the little Handy Prep disks would fit this holder, even though Amazon suggests buying them together. There are only 2 disks -the shredder and the slicer. The cutting blade is the one I use 95% of the time, and it stores in the processor. Finally, the other attachment, which shoots shredded stuff out of the processor and into a bowl of your choice, is large enough that it certainly won't fit into a disk holder. Bottom line: I would not recommend the additional expense of the disk holder. A plastic zip-lock bag would work just fine (at least, it does for me :) Be aware that the 2 disks that come with the Handy Prep are much smaller than those that come with the larger processors.

Hello Bhaskar, I bought this disc for my Cuisnart 9 cup food processor and it is a perfect fit for the standard stem. Please keep in mind that this is a extra fine shredder but it is good for hard cheeses and in my case super finely chopped cole slaw. The results were more like creamy instead of chopped. You'll find other uses, I'm sure. ~Don

It neither slices, dices nor shreds. It's only a high speed food chopper. Also, no discs are available. It is what is, not a food processor in the real sense.

I have really good luck with it. I snip off the carrot bottoms (just that nubby thingy), break the carrots usually in half, and pulse stopo pulse stop pulse until they are as large or small as I want. The more you pulse, the smaller they become. I'm in love with this chopper. Got it in May 2013, reviewed it here somewhere around then.
