Hi Don,

I have that slicer but I'm not sure I understand what you are asking about. If it is the maximum material thickness then you should not be having any problems cutting 1/16" stock. I cut that thickness in pear and boxwood all the time. Or were you asking about getting replacement blades? Mine came with 5 spares. Just be careful replacing it - the blades are crazy sharp.

Or if you were asking another question please try again and I'll watch this space. YBIC, Paul.

HI PAUL THANK YOU FOR REPLY SHOULD GIVE IT MORE TIMME AND I DO APOLIGIZE FOR THE CAPS,SPELLING, COMPOSISTION ETC. NO COMPLAINTS THROUGH MY FAITH IN JESUES CHRIST MY LORD AND SAVIOUR I DO THE BEST I CAN WOULD LOVE TO GET ANSWERS IN CAPS I CAN PUT THE MAGNYFIER AWAY... NOW FOR IMPORTANT STUFF I AGREE WITHY YOU OBOUT THE SLICER I CAN NOT CUT THROUGH 1/16/ MATERIAL AT ALL DO NOT KNOW WHY MAYBE THE PRE EXISTING BLADE O THE OTHER PART OF QUESION IS I NEED TO CUT SOME BRASS WIRE QUITE A BIT THE THICKNESS IS APPROX THE SIZE OF A MEDIUM PAPER CLIP HAVE A ZURON BUT NOT DOING IT..L AGAIN FORGIVE ANY INCONVINCE THAT I HAVE GIVEN. TGOD BLESS STAY SAFE YOU AND YOURS DON

HI DON, I HAVE NO PROBLEM AT ALL WITH ALL CAPS. MY DAD DID THE SAME THING WHEN HE WAS YOUR EXACT AGE. WHEN CUTTING THICKER MATERIALS WITH THE SLICER IT HELPS TO 'SNEAK UP' ON THE CUT. WHAT I MEAN IS WHEN CUTTING LARGER MATERIALS THEY TEND TO BREAK OUT THE BOTTOM OF THE CUT RATHER THAN BEING SMOOTH. THE SOLUTION IS TO CUT ABOUT 1/16" FROM THE CUT LINE FOR THE FIRST CUT AND THEN WHITTLE AWAY WITH THE SLICER UNTIL YOU REACH THE FINAL LOCATION.

I'M SORRY I DON'T HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR CUTTING BRASS WIRE. I ALSO USE THE XURON SIDE CUTTER AND IT HAS BEEN FINE FOR ME. MAYBE YOU MIGHT LIKE TO TRY COPPER WIRE - IT IS SOFTER THAN BRASS.

I HAVE THE SLICER AND HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH 1/16 WOOD STRIPS.

ARE YOU TRYING TO CUT WIDE PIECES OF WOOD? THE SLICER MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO CUT WOOD MORE THAN AN INCH WIDE. OF COURSE THAT DEPENDS ON THE TYPE OF WOOD AND HOW HARD IT IS.

I ASSUME YOU ARE NOT USING THE SLICER ON BRASS? THAT MIGHT BE DANGEROUS AND PROBABLY WONT WORK.



I CUT BRASS WIRE WITH A CHEAP STANDARD PAIR OF PLIERS FROM THE HARDWARE STORE.

Any type of diagonal cutting pliers will cut brass wire.

Lee valley tool has a set of3 .

 

[Corsair]

whenever you try try to cut brass wire with cutters that are like a pair of pinching cutters, you are going to get a pinched off end that will require using a file. I always use a small rotary tool with a cut off wheel.

HELLO DON

LATE TO REPLYING, BUT I SUPPOSE YOU HAVE CHECKED THAT THERE IS A BLADE IN THE SLICER? EVEN A.

BLUNT BLADE WOULD WORK TO SOME EXTENT.

BRASS WIRE? JUST SIDECUTTERS, FOLLOWED BY A FINE FILE TO RESTORE A SQUARE END AND TRIM TO
EXACT LENGTH.

 

[RogerD]

HI DON,

I WILL ALSO WRITE IN CAPITALS TO ASSIST YOU. I HAVE TAKEN A PHOTO OF THE NOTE THAT CAME WITH MY SLICER AND THE SPARE BLADES I PURCHASED.

I CUT 1/16” MATERIAL WITHOUT PROBLEMS. I NIBBLE AT IT RATHER THAN CUTTING IN ONE GO AND USE A SHARP BLADE.

I HOPE THIS IS WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR.

 

[Rob444]

ALONG WITH THE USE OF SIDE CUTTERS YOU CAN ALSO ANNEAL THE BRASS BY HEATING IT UNTIL IT IS RED AND LETTING IT COOL. IT WILL BE MUCH EASIER TO BEND AND CUT.

 

[donfarr]

BOY OH BOY GETTING THE MUCH NEEDED ANSWERS I AM GOING TO REPLCE TH BLADE THAT CAME WITH IT AND SEEWHAT HAPPENS. THANK YOU ALL THIS IS WHAT FORUM SHOULD DO0. HOPE I CAN DO THE SAME FOR SOMEBODY. GOD BLESS STAY SAFE YOU AND YOURS DON

A Dremel with the metal cutoff wheel works great!
