processhead If your pork belly is 11 or 12 inches wide then yes you can split it in half or I ‘fold’ the belly. I fold mine in the shape of a U, put a rubber band on it and put it on a shelf in my freezer to really stiffen it up. Then I feed it through the slicer with the bottom on the U to be first to hit the blade. The handle/gripper on the slicer held it well and nice even slices until you are almost out of bacon.

Dave in AZ, you may recall I upgraded from a small manual slicer to a 12 inch Waltons slicer (and posted a few photographs of both). It works great and i use on a variety of meats, cheese, vegetables and fruits. I slice my whole muscle meat roasts for jerky semi-frozen and you can hear the motor work a little harder but no problems. If you wanted to slice traditional pork belly slabs about the maximum width of the slab you can cut is 8 inches unless you fold in half and semi freeze, to get it quite stiff and then slice it.

You are definately missing the spring…it creates the right amount of tension.

Here is an explanation on the gasket. Watch from 1:40-2:20

Bob Stehlik bocephus I just posted a picture of how I store mine and no need to remove suction cups each time

I cut dowels of various sizes to clean stuffer horns. I store my processing gear in a cabinet. The stuffer is on the top shelf horizontal and I simply put my largest dowel under the botten edge of the stuffer so the suction cups don’t bear the weight.

I found on mine the vent screw was completely tightened and it would not let the air out. I back off the screw a few turns and it was better. A couple more turns and I could hear the air escaping and no more farce escaped.
