    That is the difference between a joy and a chore. Makes quick work.

    When you are done it can all go in the dishwasher except the blade. For a large family and lots of school and work lunches or get together they are worth the trouble.

    So what did it set you back? Is this a gloat?

    I am sort of jealous though. I'd love to pick up an old slicer and almost did on a couple of occasions but just can't justify giving up the space they take up. But I do like also.

    $75 for the scale and $200 for the slicer In canadiens dollars = $120 USD lol

    Gentlemen I've been hunting for a slicer and slicer over 3 years now.  I wanted and older scale and slicer but i found thee scale at and antique shop and the slicer was purchased from a IGA that was going under it was dumb luck that they are the same name brand.   I like to find old kitchen equipment and utensils and resurrect the to their former glory.

    Great finds!!!!


    Rehab'd an older Hobart 512 from a teacher who found it in his elementary school cafeteria.  Came with an extra knife.  Put it on a Craftsman engine cart.  Total investment, $400.  
     

    Only one min to break completely down. 

    Biggest concern is safety with a razor sharp knife.  Three slotted screws for the knife to remove.  The slightest little graze, will draw blood.  Use a cut resistant glove a friend gave me to hold the blade while cleaning.  Bleach wipes usually take care of the base.  Guide and knife cover are hand washed.  Total time, maybe 10-15 minutes. So much better than slicing by hand.  

    Just missed a nice antique Hobart grinder/slicer combo in Ankeny, IA for $300.  
    Still huntin' for a grinder.  There is one for $500 here in the QC.  Worth it.  I'm too cheap.

    Enjoy the new tools.
