If you have some light to medium slicing work and a small area in which to do so, this rugged, durable and efficient 12" meatslicer from Skyfood (model GL300) will do the trick. This slicer has an attractive one-piece anodized aluminum frame with rounded corners, and the 1/3-Hp motor makes this compact slicer an excellent choice for a busy kitchen. The stainless steel slicer knife has a stain and moisture resistant finish; the safeguarded, top mounted, built-in sharpener folds away if not in use. You can control the pressure of the grinding and honing stones against the slicer knife and you can use either of these sharpening stones together or one at a time. The 12" slicer knife sits on a dual bearing hub, which ensures smooth, even slicing; the blade is easily taken off the hub for service or cleaning. The meat chute sits at a 30angle for optimal gravity-fed feeding. Most slicer components are easily taken apart without tools, providing ease in cleaning and service. This GL300 slicer is E.T.L.-listed and slices a maximum thickness cut of half an inch; the cutting window dimensions are 7.875" H by 7.5" W.
