I take it the wooden part is too wide to go through a bread slicing guide?

I am sorry I don't know what a bread slicing guide is. I just cut the bread to the thickness I like

I confess I don't know what a "bread slicing guide" but I'm guessing it does pretty much what this does, only for a whole loaf -- is that right? Anyway, this is a great product that I use for slicing bagels -- nothing compares to it!

Yes, but I find I don't need a slicing guide with this knife. It is so easy to get uniform slices.

I bought this as a gift to my mother so I don't have it here in order to actually measure the slots (sorry). I do know that she toasts regular sized bread and bagels without a problem. I looked at it prior to wrapping it for her and I seriously doubt it would be able to handle the longer deli type slices. Sorry I couldn't be more specific and I hope this helps.

Screws hold the plastic part on so you can detach it but then it wouldn't be a bread slicer guide. The plastic part has spaces so you can make straight, even slices.

I don't have a bread knife, which is probably serrated, but the rest is not. Santoku knife is kind of sculptured, but the cutting edge is straight on all of them.

I don't think you have it pushed in all the way- it took me a while to figure out that unless there is a little "Click", the blade is not as far in as it needs to be for safety and stability. Makes it really hard to take it out-strong fingers needed but that's how it has to be. And this applies to all the blades. They click into place and once they have clicked, you can slice like crazy without any problems. Are you loving your slicer? We have been camping in a rental for a year and just moved into our "forever" home last weekend and have really missed our slicer. It will be a while before we unpack it but that will make the reunion all the better, I think.

They are too narrow as is however you can purchase some plastic washers to use as spacers that will make the slices any size you like. You will need to unscrew the nut off the retaining bolt and insert the washers between the slots. Easy to do and works well except you will lose a slice off the end unless you buy a bigger bolt. It's a good unit though. Very sturdy.

you need at least 1/2" on both sides of the drawer for the guides to fit: the drawer should be 1" narrower than the opening.

How sharp is your knife? The area where you slide the loaf of bread in to cut is four and three-fourths inches wide (4 3/4") by six inches high. Your meat would have to be able to fit that space and if it does you gave me a great way to slice my corned beef! Thanks for the idea! with meat I suspect the thinnest piece you could slice would be between 1/16th to 1/8th of an inch to a maximum width of about 3/4th to 1 inch. Hope that answers your question!

Not to worry! it's very easy to use. pull down the plastic panel, slide your loaf in firmly, slice down through the slit. I have to trim the sides of my bread machine loaf just a little so it will fit in easily. It is fairly sturdy, and helps me get an even slice.

No it didn't fit it was too big, so I still can't make homemade bread with my machine

Yes, but limited to a wonder-bread sized bread slice, which will slightly hug the edges. The large section is probably intended for exactly this purpose.

As shown in the photo, the slicing guides have a wavy top, which I think is a design feature rather than functional. The shortest guide reaches 4.5" above the shelf the bread sits on, and the tallest guide is 5".

You don't need to adjust it. If you look closely at the bread slicer, you will see that half of it is one size and the other half is the other size. Hope that makes sense and helps.

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.

Not very wide. I bought a bread knife and its too thick. Cuts the plastic. We use a wedding cake knife that has a sedate edge

Hi, Deb! It depends on what you mean by "long". I buy Vienna bread from my grocery store bakery and some of the slices are about 1-1/2 the width of a regular slice of bread. I can usually fit them into the slot (front to back) or if they are slightly too wide I can put them in diagonally and get a good result. By width I don't mean how thick it's sliced, I mean side to side measurement. It is about the same depth of any other toaster. Hope this helps you make a choice.

I'm thinking that you might be asking about bread, like sourdough, where each slice is pretty wide? If so, Nope. I need to cut the bread in half and toast 2 pieces...sorry
