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.

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.

Blades: 1) Fine Grater (extremely fine grating/shredding, very small pieces, e.g. great if you want cheese thoroughly integrated without melting, or want nuts without chunks); 2) Julienne (long, thin slices for salads, etc., e.g. great for cucumbers and carrots in coleslaw); 3) Thick Slicer (6mm thick slices, e.g. great for appetizers, such as carrots and other veggies for dipping). Yes, this set is definitely worth the money.

The slicer shredder has a much bigger cup capasity and runs on the lower rpm motor. Its perfect for slicing cheese without tearing it to bits. The slicer shredder also comes with an extra blade for French fries. If you make a few cuts in your potatoes and then run it through the slicer it will also cube your food for you. The food processor is smaller and runs on the higher rpm motor where your blender runs. Its good for veggies and very hard meats. I tried slicing pepperoni and cheese in the food processor. It did slice it but it also tore much of it to bits and i didnt like that much waste. Its perfect for say casseroles and salsas or other foods that won't be on display and has to be perfect. I use the slicer shredder for making meat trays and foods that i need to look a certain way and can't use if its deformed. They are bth very useful and important in their own way. I hope this helped you

Normal shredding (e.g. cheddar) is DLC 337. Very fine shredding (e.g. parmesan cheese) is DLC 334.

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.

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 just used my Hamilton and some slices are this, and turn over, Disc and your slices are thicker Just it number one on machine slow watch as you go. there should be the right slices your looking for. Love this Tool.

Ok, assuming you are using the shredder, not the grinder. And using the coarse shred wheel, not the fine one then only thing I can think you may have done is turn the Mixer itself up too high. You should leave the mixer on #2 for attachments use. If thats exactly what you did, then maybe your shredding wheel needs to be sharpened.

It does a great job on cabbage. I've made crocks of sauerkraut several times using it to do all of the shredding and have been very pleased.Gloria

My understanding when I bought the shredder was that it was intended for paper and credit cards. However, in looking at the user's manual, it states on page one: "Do not attempt to shred materials other than paper, credit cards and CD's in the provided feed slots." I've only used the machine for paper and credit card shredding. I don't have a dedicated slot for CD's on my CX80 model so I've never tried to shred them. DVD's are not mentioned anywhere in the manual. Hope this helps.

I generally make a slaw out of a full head of both white and red cabbage as well as carrots, radishes, green onions and daikon (a japanese radish). I alternate items to simplify the mixing step and I need to process several large bowls to accommodate the total volume. The machine has no problem with large quantity shredding.

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.

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!

Hi :) Yes it does shred cabbage. I use it to shred onion, cabbage, lettuce ... etc.

Using the shredding disc that comes with it does a good job. We have used that disc to shred zucchini to make zucchini chocolate chip cake and zucchini bread and it comes out delicious.

I have been using my blades from the DLC 7 with no problems. However, I am not using my processor much lately since family size has changed. Hope this helps.
