Thread: meat slicer

I am a sucker for hand powered tools. I like the styling of this one, it came from ebay. I took it apart and cleaned, greased, and sharpened the blade. I mounted on a wood board to keep it from moving around. So far it is working pretty good.

I like the deco styling and chrome, if it only had fins and curb feelers.

I sliced many a pound of bologna and bacon on one like that

I remember an episode of Seinfeld where Kramer had all kinds of fun with one of those!

That’s pretty sweet Charlie. I think you have a knack for finding cool vintage stuff!

Is that a single person right handed machine or does it take two to safely run it?

How did you sharpen the blade? I have seen some with stones mounted on the machine to do it.

It takes two hands and a belly to operate safely. I use my belly to press the stop up to the edge of the counter.. Originally it had rubber feet but they were missing or dry rotted.

I took the blade out and layed it flat with a bit hanging off the table and moved a diamond hone perpendicular to the edge.

I believe you and I are equipped to hold it securely to the counter.

My dad's had the stones mounted for blade sharpening.

It needs a miniature pair of fuzzy dice hanging from the handle.
Time to dress it up!
