This Gusto Equipment compact manual slicer is built for reliable performance without sacrificing valuable workspace. It is constructed of anodized aluminum with sealed splash zones and heavy duty feet. The meat slicer features a 12″ hard chromed, hollow ground knife that lasts longer and sharpens easier. The belt driven, positive grooved knife slices meat from 0 to 9/16″ thick. The gravity fed food chute, slice deflector, knife cover and sharpener are removable for easy cleaning.
