I stripped out the gears on an ALDI slicer and just reciently ebayed one of these, www.ebay.com.au/itm/161497240864?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649Its not commercial but has a large motor and the serrated blade seams to slice my hard salamis much better than my old smooth blade. This one also has a bit more throw which is important for bacon. It won't do an entire belly and loin length (Only big commercial slicers do that) , but this one is as wide I've found in the price point. It was a Xmas present just past so I cannot Totaly recommend however Im liking it so far. It was this or the Maxima at 150W , The bigger 180W Luvelo donk won out There are TWO Luvelo's, A standard and the PLUS wich is wider and was a no brainer for the extra ten bucks or so. |

If your after something a bit more heavy duty check these out -- ' slicers' . I bought the 250 mm model and after owning a range of domestic slicers I am glad I spent the extra, they have a built in sharpener which you can remove till needed, and its very easy to clean. These are entry level commercial quality at a fraction of the cost of some of the better known brands. The body is one piece polished aluminium and it also comes with a blade protector which makes the blade safe to handle when washing it. |

Link please Hoddo? Captain It's in there Cappy, the blue word "slicers" Hoddo is right, Id go one of these and will some day. Funds were an issue and I needed to break down cured meats fast. If I get a few years I'll be happy. |
