meat slicer ?

[old poi dog]

Does anyone have an opinion of the meat slicer that The Sausage Maker is selling that goes for about   $385.00?   I'm thinking of getting a slicer for my bacon and pastrami Smokes.  Any recommendations for a good medium duty slicer?  Thanks

I know I have a cabela's meat grinder and they are really good. they have a meat slicer as well that I will go with if I cant find a good used commercial at a steal. they are like 399. its the commercial one they sell, its better than the home models. and usually they are built by reputable companies. I believe these are made by weston because weston has a model that is pretty much identical just with a different label. may want to check those out and compare. I have been more than satisfied with the cabela's brand stuff.

I might try E-bay or craig's list for a slicer first. Unless you want a brand new one but you can fine new slicers at E-bay too. You shoukd be able to save some money.

None of the so called heavy duty home units can touch it.

Globe 500

yep I'm picking one up this afternoon(unless the deal falls through) that I scored on craigslist. Not quite the deal you got on the globe, but its a berkel for 500. Its one of the higher end commercial slicers. the guy said theres no way one person can carry it, he said it takes at least 2 people to move it. I am pumped up to get this thing. And couldn't have come at a better time, got 25 lbs of bacon curing as we speak

Very cool Guys....I am also trying to get a used Globe but they are few and far between.  New ones go for about 800 here.
