Which side is the corse and which is the fine?Thick blades or thin blades?

I would say that the coarse would be the metal and the fine is the ceramic.

The coarse side is the slot marked carbide and furthest from the diamond rod and closest to lanyard holeThe fine side is the slot marked ceramic and is closet to the diamond rod.The thickness of the blade should not be a factor, however I do note that the carbide slot is only about 1/8" at itsopening.

Carbide is the courser of the two. Use it for a few strokes first to take away the roughest area. Then use the ceramic to fine hone the edge. The shape of the edge that this provides will last a good long time and be as sharp as a razor blade. When passing the blade through, if it feels "gritty" its removing material. When it feels "smooth" that step is done.

makes no difference thick or thin blade ,1st use sharpening rod then carbide ,then finish w/ ceramic . The sharpening rod must b used properly !!!

The blade is double sided. The finer teeth work well for tenons and the course teeth I've used to cut down a small tree. The blade is pretty durable, but I wouldn't bother with sharpening since the blades are replaceable.

Not very thick...maybe about 1/8" or so. It is usable on both sides as well as both edges for a total of 4 usable cutting surfaces as the blades don't run down the center of the mat.

The splitter is.090 thick. I have has no problem with thin kerf blades and like the fact that it stores below the table. Had to modify the cast iron mounting frame to fit my table saw, not a big deal.

I have two models, both very tough blades. The Golok is about 1/4 inch thick, tapering toward the point. My experience with these blades has been good.

Its 12" total and 7.5" blade. I don't know the thickness, but it is a sturdy blade. I have used it to clear wild yucca when hiking.

It's about an 1/8 inch thick, works pretty good, nice & compact, you'll need to sharpen the blade, I used a standard flat file

The blade is nice and thick. It's not a lightweight shovel. I love mine, just used it again tonight. It's made in Canada. They understand up there.

About an inch thick but is tapered near the blade so generally not a major issue

Well, there are different plates for making thin and thick slices. The blades in the plates themselves are not adjustable.

The blade is not too thick, but I don't have a way to measure it. The knife is fairly big as it is so the thickness is not noticable.

There's a "slider" to adjust the thickness of the cut -- but not a huge difference between the three. The two thinnest I'd call "paper thin". The thickest cuts about 1/32" of an inch thick - perfect for carrot "coins".

Sorry but I cannot say for sure what the thicknesses are for the 3 blades. I put them into the two blade holder boxes from Cuisinart, and I do not recall which blades were with the original set and which I added from the set you asked about.

Also the blade is adjustable to make thick to paper-thin slices if that what you meant.

There are two blades inside the spiral slicer (no need to change blades), so you can enjoy thinner or thicker veggie spirals to your liking

2.5" wide, from 1/4" down to "paper thin". It has a little knob you twist to adjust the height of the plane in front of the blade, so it goes as thin as you want.

The blade is very thick not super sharp. I'm not sure if it's fragile, we haven't used it yet.
