Thanks WaterinHoleBrew, for the point and compliment I didn't need to spend a lot of money a big heavy duty slicer, this is the 609, had good ratings and after using it the first time I am happy with my choice. Fact is I started to change my mind a couple of time after I placed the order and opt for a larger and more heavy duty one, glad I stuck with this one. Stores nicely, easy to take apart and clean. Be slicing belly bacon next,
Gary
