You're living my dream. A slicer so I can cure bacon is next on my list. Congrats!

The only downside is it takes a loooong time to clean a slicer vs a good sharp knife.

I do own a vintage 1940's Hobart 1512 so I know whereof I speak.

DON'T EVER EVEN THINK OF TOUCHNG THE BLADE WITHOUT HAVING A PAIR OF KEVLAR GOLVES ON.

THAT ^^^^

I speak from experience.

I think you will like that slicer overall Charles. Heads up to only use a food grade lube on the slide mechanism. No oil or crisco, those will gum up. I use the Cabelas brand food grade lubricating grease.

TAKE EDGE'S ADVICE ABOUT THE LUBRICANT, IT WORKS THO AIN'T CHEAP.

I have this...

That’ll work just fine.

I use the same oil I use for my wooden cutting boards that works well and is pretty easy clean up. I have an older (30yr or so) slicer that is similar. Think I got it on sale for about $40. I hope it lasts forever.
Thanks for sharing.

That looks like a pretty sweet slicer. I have an older 7" one that has worked well over the years but have thought about upgrading. Then I re-think it since I only use it about twice a year. There are more important semi useful things I could buy without my wife noticing.

Very nice Charles,

Remember slice only things you really want to eat, no fingers or thumbs etc.
