Dry aged experiment
-
Dave R I used the 12" to slice our dry-cured lomo (dry-cured pork loin) thin enough to see through, so it can definitely do thinner than 2mm. If it is “jumping”(going right to 2 mm) when you try to make it really thin it might just be stiff, working the action for a while on the knob should make it smoother and allow you to set it as thin as you would like. Then, when you have it thin as you want, go ahead and set the depth protecting screw on the back to keep it at that depth.

Dave R those are the brand that I have been using to build my control board. I haven’t had the opportunity to put them to work, still rebuilding the reach in. They work good for control on an ‘essential oil’ still though. Many good reviews.

Jonathon well, I guess I win the dumb azz question of the week award. Thank you. I need to eat my Wheaties I guess. The adjustment knob was super tight and after excercising it back and forth a dozen times I was able to get full adjustment out of it. The Meatgistics forum solves another problem. Just in time my capicola is almost ready for the slicer. Thanks

We expect pics as payment! I’m getting so excited to get some free time coming up (haha) and start doing some more dry-cured stuff!

Dave R Glad to hear it! Yeah, the knob on ours stayed tight like that for the first few times and then eased up a little bit. Let me know if it continues past a few more uses and I will see what can be done as far as removing that and lubricating something in there to make it slide a little easier.
