Do you position the mandolin over a bowl, it looks like it doesn't have a stand. Would I rather have a mandolin with a stand?

Yes, however, I hold and angle over my cutting board. Just move slowly until u r comfortable w it. Then it is a snap!

The device that holds the spare blades can be used as a stand, but it is awkward. Simple answer is you can use that device as stand, but just put it over a bowl or hold it at a 45 like listed below, not as awkward as it might seem, the device works very well.

I love the compactness of this madolin. I use it over a cutting board and occasionally over a bowl.It's easy to hold either way.

You can put a bowl under it. I put the feet inside a large container or bowl.

I use it on a flexible cutting sheet inclined to 45º, moving it down the sheet when needed to eliminate pileup.

Yes position the mandolin over a bowl, it doesn't have a stand, you can't have a mandolin with a stand "read the description for more details'

I love my madolin and just use it with a flexible cutting board. I keep it flat so it is very stable as I cut. I think putting it over a bowl would make it rather dangerous to use. I do not see the advantage of a stand. I love my mandolin and gave them away as gifts to my siblings this year for Christmas. :)

Perhaps putting it over a large shallow pan would be a better option than trying to balance it on a bowl. Put a non-skid mat under the pan for additional stability.

Noblea, I bought the Guardian Cases CG-020-MA Mandolin Case for a RM-100A A-Style Mandolin Sunburst from MF. It is a very nice case and the Mandolin fits comfortably in it. Next month I will have fifty years of playing and own many instrument cases. You will like this case. I highly recommend it.

Works with a mandolin. It gave my wife enough confidence to actually use the mandolin. Saved a lot in bandages over the years.

Hi. There aren't any legs. Hold it at an angle, so it stands on 1 side. The bottom sits on the counter and the top, where you start slicing with one hand, you hold with the other hand. I did't use a plate, I just let everything fall onto my counter, but yes, you might want to put a plate or bowl underneath.

My Kentucky mandolin has a really short end pin, and it's a problem, actually: strap gets preference, obviously. I keep meaning to get that fixed: but I just wrap the wire once around the strap for support and go from there. Ugly, but effective.

Yes you can play it without being plugged and it sounds great - it is also a beautiful mandolin - hope this helps - have a beautiful blessed weekend

I just looked up your Mandolin on Amazon - if yours is the same shape as the one listed, then this case will not fit. This case is tailored to an A style mandolin and is a fairly tight fit, with no room for that upper arm ( like an electric guitar has).Contact the seller - I'm sure they have one that will fit your Mando like a Glove!!! You'll be pleased with the construction Quality of their cases - I know I am!!

There is a box that fits under the mandolin and catches the all the slices. After use, you can store all the parts in this container, which has a lid, for storage. I love this feature.

No. But I find I can easily reach all three instruments. You could probably purchase a cheap Lazy Susan to place under the stand if necessary.

I would not recommend this product for potatoes. I would suggest a mandolin

Hi, the mandolin, from high to low strings, is tuned E-A-D-G, so if you tune UP, you are tightening the strings up three or four semitones, so the neck might be able to handle it, but there would be a LOT of tension on the strings. On the flip side, you can tune it to the lower octave, and that would work. It's a sturdy little neck. Hope this helps. It is a nice mandolin.

Mine has little pads built onto the feet already. I don't have much problem at all with sliding around. Also there is a small nook behind the feet that allow it to sit on the edge of a bowl so that the slices will fall right into the bowl.

You can but I don't. Like the other commenter, I like the bowl so much and don't want to scratch it.

I do not. If your bowl is adjusted for the metal blade, the silicone is flippy enough to run over the surface and clean. When they say "adjust the bowl" they are talking about getting the bowl positioned so that the blade is close to the bowl but does not rub. http://www.thekitchn.com/how-to-adjust-the-bowl-height-139029

Hi, Ruth, it is secured under the front of the bowl .....in a vise -like motion......very secure once you tighten up the knob from the outside. just like a vise would tighten...hope this helps. I liked it and it was invaluable post op .

No I would not suggest getting this. It was inexpensive for a reason. It is not heavy duty and you still have to turn the bowl yourself. I would spend a bit more money and get one with a bowl that turns. That is what I thought I was getting.
