This semi-automatic slicer has a stainless steel blade and tray along with an aluminium body for lasting use, as it will resist corrosion and other rigours associated with commercial environments. With its 1/6 hp design, this slicer is perfect for the occasional slicing of fresh ingredients in the kitchen for sandwiches, pizzas, appetizers, or other speciality menu items. Thanks to its 9″ adjustable blade, this model can cut between 1/16″ to 5/8″ thick slices depending on your usage needs. This slicer comes with a built-in blade sharpener for further convenience, so you can keep it sharp and continue using it optimally. The included fixed ring guard also prevents unintentional contact with the blade so that you can prevent injuries and keep your staff safe.
