The slicing disc that's included with the processor is 4mm which will produce slices a little thicker than 1/8 inch. There is a 3mm slicing blade that makes slices that are a bit shy of 1/8". The smallest slicing disc for this model is 2mm which of course will make slices thinner than 1/8". Both discs are sold separately. The thickest blade is the 6mm that makes 1/4" slices. It is also sold separately. The blades are super sharp so slicing is a breeze. However, depending upon the size of the potato, assuming you mean potato chips, you may have to cut the potatoes to fit inside the feed tube so you may wind up with half moon slices instead of round slices.

thanks for your reply. do I understand correctly that this cuisinart does not come with either a 1 or 2 mm slicer? and, that the tube is not large enogh to put in a whole potato? some of the reviews indicate you can put in a whole potato? is a 2mm slicer thin enough for potato chips? I appreciate your reply

hello, i haven't tried making thin and crisp potato slices. in fact the slicer is in the cabinet w/other things I don't use anymore....I don't fry any foods so I wouldn't even do that but I have tried slicing potato's for baked fries and it dosent work that great. You have to take the skin off then slice. Slicer won't work well w/skins on. good luck

This blade fits the DLC-2A series machines, which are 3 cup Mini Prep Plus Cuisinarts....the 2A and 2ABC (BC for brushed chrome) and several other colors. I don't know what a DLC-200 looks like...I didn't find one anywhere with that number. How many cups does it hold? There's a DLC-2007 which is a 7 cup, a DLC -2009 which is a 9 cup, and a DLC - 2011 which is a 11- cup machine. I've had one each of the 7 and 11 cup machines. Daughter now has the DLC-2007. This blade is much too small for either one of those Cuisinarts. There is a smaller DLC-1 mini Cuisinart (21 oz bowl), and a larger DLC-4C series which is a 4 cup machine, but the DLC-2A blade doesn't fit either. They have their own blades.

You can find descriptions of what each blade does on the Amazon page for the product. I my opinion, though, one would need to be processing a lot do food to make them worth the money. I only use them when we are having big family parties. The French fry cutter makes the potato pieces a nice size until they are cooked, then they shrink and are more like match sticks. The slicer is nice for even slices of things. Read the reviews, they have a lot of info in them. I am glad I bought them, but don't use them often.

Yeah, slices very thin. We sliced potatoes to around a 1/16" slices and fried them. Worked great I thought

Good question - it's hard to tell from the descriptions. I've used both. The DLC-10 comes with a dough blade, an additional flat (non-pusher) cover, and an instuctional video. I rarely use those items - when I bake, I don't knead dough in a machine, and it's just as easy to pour liquids in through the standard pusher cover. The video is well-made and helpful, but only if you've never used a Cuisinart before. All of that one could tell mostly just by looking at the pictures, but the main two SIGNIFICANT differences are the pusher cover; and the way the accessory blades are used. First, the cover on the DLC-5 has a wide hole; the DLC-10 has a 2-in-1 design with a large AND small hole - so that, for example, one can slice one carrot in the DLC-10, but not as easily or cleanly in the DLC-5. It would tend to move around and result in uneven slices. Second, the way the blades attach in the DLC-10 is a tiny bit more complicated, but makes them much more suitable for heavier-duty use. Also, because of this design, the DLC-10 can use the dozen or more standard accessory discs, but the DLC-5 can use only the two discs made specifically for it (although one could certainly buy the $10 adapter stem to use the others). Bottom line: the DLC-10 is slightly more complex, but more flexible in use and more expandable, and comes with more accessories. The respective models are the exact SAME price (at least today!), so I'd definitely get the DLC-10. (The DLC-10 I bought over 15 years ago and use every day is still working perfectly, so I don't need a new one yet!)

If you use a potato the exact size of the space inside of the cutter as you push down on the handle the slices are propelled from the other end. Plus you'll want the fries as long as you can possibly get them anyways. I think that photo was staged so people could see what happens in slow motion. Those pieces somewhat eject from the other end and will separate. That's what makes this cutter is a very fast an efficient unit.

I know your question was posted 9 months ago, but just in case anyone else is interested.....It works great on potatoes. I've used it many times to make latkes. It easily shreds potatoes. I haven't used the slicer on potatoes, but my guess would be that it would work just as well.

It comes with two different slicing types. One is just the regular constant chip type and the other is a string type. Great product as we have buffalo and chips every friday as our tradition at our house.

I use mine to slice potatoes all the time for augratin. A word of advice put the potato all the way to one side when slicing to prevent the potato from falling sideways into to the blade because you get better slices from top down.

One of the blades is a grid of small squares so if the item you want dices is cut to the height you want (i.e. an onion would have to be cut into 1/4"-=1/2" discs and then placed in product to cut into small squares) - it's the same blade you use for making sticks, but then you want the veggie/fruit to be as tall as you want the sticks to be. We diced celery, onions, bell peppers and apples so far and they came out great!! Hope this helps.

For a layered veggie like an onion, you can get a dice by using the julienne insert. For any solid veggie, such as a potato - it just doesn't dice. Some people suggest pre-slicing the potato part of the way through, but that's just way too much trouble. I don't try to dice (except onions) with this. The V7000 is supposed to do a true dice, however, though it creates more waste even when slicing than this model because the sides where you rest the safety grip are higher.

It only has one size to slice and that is very thin. I think I would go with a more versatile slicer. I wouldn't buy this again

I guess it's kind of a dehydrator for the microwave. But the slices must be very thin to make the chips. When I use a dehydrator, I can use a much thicker slice of fruit or vegetables.

No. The DLC-846TX is meant for 7-Cup & 11-Cup Food Processors. The DLC-7FPC is a 14-cup Food Processor.

Hi C.C. I'm not familiar with the blades/accessories that come with the DLC-2011CHB 11 cupper:( This storage case is designed to hold two blades (shredding and slicing) in the bottom drawer with three chopping blades positioned in the uppert part plus the coupling piece. All of these items have specific positions in the case. There is also room in the top to put your spatulas and brushes. The bottom is not completely solid however there is no risk of being cut by the blades when they are in position. If your unit has the same blades/chopping accessories - you are good to go:) I really appreciate having these sharp tools safely tucked in one place! Hope that helps.... Hi C.C.

Hi. Truthfully I have never used this product as a veggie chopper, but only for the use of chopping the salad. I generally use things like pre-sliced carrots myself. I would use a processor to chop whole carrots etc. rather than this item. It works very well if you use it for the 'salad' chopping as it is intended. If you wanted to, you could run the blades over a celery stalk to slice, but I would hesitate to use it with 'hard' veggies.I love the product myself, and if you like chopped salads - you will too.
