Am gonna pull the chute and buy a new one.....what blade size would you get..7,8.5 or 10 inch diameter

I make belly bacon and back bacon and am recently getting into dry cured salami......they are all around $30 in price increase from next size....just get the 10 inch and be done with it or ????

I have a 10" blade, and I still have to either cut the bacon slab in half, or fold it over to slice.

Hi there and welcome!

Any chance that anyone has a link to a buying guide for meat slicers?

I would like to understand specific features and details to look for.  For example stuff like :

• Uses all metal gears
• Does not get hot easily
• Cleans up easily
• Slide should extend a minimum ??? inches from start of blade
• etc, etc

I've read similar type of guides that have helped me buy stuff like a meat grinder and such.  Thanks ! :)
