    Default 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.

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

    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.

    I feel that I would be well equipped!

    I finally got my wife to like a hand cranked slicer /shredder and that has been fun.

    I have not used this yet but have this vice attachment for sharpening saw blades which would be useless in this situation because I don't think it could get a low enough angle for meat slicers.

    One of those type of things that i just had to get it.

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