The BigBite 8-1/2 inches Semi-Automatic Meat Slicer combines the performance of commercial-grade equipment with user-friendly features for home or professional use. Powered by a robust induction motor and reliable belt drive, it delivers the torque needed to slice through the toughest meats, cheeses and breads with ease. The large-capacity, tilted food carriage smoothly glides across the stainless steel blade, allowing you to achieve deli-quality cuts ranging from 1mm to 10mm thick. For precise control and safety, the solid metal food pusher with teeth ensures accurate slicing while keeping fingers safe. The graduated knob allows for easy customization of slice thickness and the built-in sharpener ensures the blade stays sharp without the need for manual maintenance. The covered on/off switch simplifies clean-up and the sturdy cast aluminum housing with skid-resistant feet ensures added stability. For safety, a cut-resistant glove should be worn when removing, cleaning or handling the slicer blade. ETL Certified and ETL Sanitary Certification guarantee quality and reliability.
