The LEM 7 1/2" Slicer is great for cutting both cheeses and meats with precision and uniformity. The slicer is constructed with heavy-duty painted steel and comes with a stainless steel serrated blade to handle your slicing needs. The belt-driven motor allows the home user to impress family and friends with deli thin lunch meat; consistent, uniformly thin jerky strips and a variety of vegetable and cheese platters. The snap-on and easy off food pusher has teeth on the bottom but also has a scalloped bottom to hold food from the top. It securely snaps on to the handle. The sliding food tray is plastic with a stainless steel top. It rides smoothly and easily on a wheel and metal rod. The large food tray has space to accommodate larger pieces of meat and can be removed with a screwdriver.
