Can you adjust the width/size of the peels coming off of a potato? I'm trying for very thin peels.

No you cannot adjust the width because the curved, horseshoe shaped blade is just one size, about 1/4".

I'm sure you could with a smaller potato. Otherwise you could try a mandolin :)

no you can not adjust the thickness. and they are little less than 1/8th of and inch thick.

You have the option for both thick and thin. However I have damaged a few blades and have to cut the potato in smaller pieces before passing it through the cutter.

I adjusted the blade as Sonya suggested and also moved the corer blade by loosening the screw. Once you have the adjustments made, it will be set to use. Made my first apple pie for the fall!

Not really the only thing you can do is adjust the depth of the blade so it doesn't cut as deep....it will leave some peel on the ends but you save a ton of the Apple. Uneven apples and large apples don't do as well with this peeler. I have done potatoes and small apples and it works great.

I recommend at least quartering and coring. You really don't want the appleseeds in there. But you should be able to skip peeling- depending on the type of apple, it will generally do that part of the job for you.

I just checked mine, and on mine the blade that slices is adjustable. It can be moved out of the way, so that you only peel and core. You will always core, the coring is part of the frame. So if you did a potato, it would core it. We make sliced apples (similar to Famous Dave's Apples) all the time using this, and it works awesome. Can core, peel, and slice a full apple in about 10 to 15 seconds.

If you didn't get an instruction booklet go to http://norpro.com/uploads/pdf/860_866r-instructionbook.pdf. Hope that will help you. Machine will peel, core and slice all at one time or pare only, core/slice only. See booklet. Don't think it will slice thicker or thinner if that is what you are after.

I agree with previous answer, great peeler.perhaps u can put the peeler on another spot or attach a piece of 1 1/2 in plywood temporally and use it that way. Good Luck

Hi Zora, you can't adjust the thickness of the slices but you can choose to just peel the apple and slice it to the thickness you like, say with a knife. It won't be in a spiral shape though.

You can adjust the thickness of the slices by the amount of pressure that is placed downward on the handle. Less downward pressure makes thinner slices.

Probably not. That tines are a bout 1 inch apart. Guess you could mash the tiines together and make them less far apart.

Whoops,my previous dimensions were for the WFO (wood fired oven) Super Peel, for I have that one too. As for the Super Peel Pro, Karen's specs are right on. Sorry for the confusion.

Not quite adjust. You peel off the tape and stick a row where you want it. Super easy.

It has a small (semi-sheathed) blade that peels apples because they are of a uniform shape. I wouldn't even attempt tp peel potatoes in it. They are grittier (dirtier) of various shapes, sizes, and the flesh isn't the same texture as apples. So, no.

no, you cannot adjust thickness except by the pressure applied when cutting.
