Can this slice very very thin onions?

I haven't tried onions with this blade. I use this blade to make sweet potato chips in my food dehydrator and it is the perfect slice. I think you'll be happy with this blade, unless you re looking for a paper thin slice, then you should get the 1 mm. I would think the 2mm would be more versatile. Hope this helps.

This disc will slice onions at a thickness of 2mm. This is probably the thinnest you will get unless your machine is a DLC-X. There is a 1mm slicing disc for the DLC-X but all the rest of the machines will accept a 2mm slicing disc and above. You can find your model# on the underside of the base of the machine.

OK, I don't have a millimeter measurement to give but the blade is a very heavy razor blade that's sharpened with a bevel on the bottom side and flat on top. Depending what you are cutting some stuff will slice thinner than others. Something hard like a carrot or potato can be extremely thin, but tomatoes will mush up if they are ripe and you try to make the same thin slice. You can adjust it so thin that it stops cutting.I mean harder stuff can be paper thin. I hope that's clear.

no adjustment for thickness and it cuts it in a spiral form like a slinky. slices are about 1/8th of an inch

I don't use it much at all anymore. Got it out the other day and replaced it with my Mac santoku which I love. It does slice well, but I'm not really pleased with it. I don't know if it would work on harder veggies, I also use a Forschner 8" chef's knife for harder things, seems more sturdy.

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.

If you want things razor thin, the non-serrated blade is, literally, the only way to go. The serrated will tear the food apart if you try to make ultra thin slices.

Not sure I use it to slice ham, turkey and pork but not really thin slices so I'm not sure. Hope this was helpful.

For a carving knife it slices about a 1/4 inch thick but not any thinner than that. It really isn't meant to cut super thin as it is really for carving London Broil, Ham, Prime Rib, Turkey etc. If you are wanting very thin slices I don't believe you will be happy with this knife. It has a pretty thick blade to begin with. It is an excellent carving knife for the price and well made.

I wouldnt want to slice tomtatoes or onions with it. I would be afraid of getting my fingers in the blade. I would use a mandaline for that.

After using this mandolin on cucumbers and onions, I think you would get a really thin ribbon of zucchini. I believe it would cut the zucchini just fine, but it wouldn't be very thick.

Yes, but the slices are too large ... I prefer smaller, so I went back to a chef knife.

The blade is very thin and sharp so its a great thin slicer. Potatos and peeled squash yes but anything with tough skin should be cut with a heavier knife.

not the thickness of the slices, but you can adjust the thickness of the peel it takes off

I did try it and it worked...but the onion was so much more firm than a tomato that I had to push super-hard. I was a little worried I'd break the plastic frame! To be fair, it was a HUGE onion (barely fit in the slicer)...so you would probably get a better result w/a smaller onion.Hope this helps!

This is a great slicer but will not cut slices that wide Also, tomatoes do not do the best, because the slices are thin and they tend to fall apart.

I use it to slice onions extremely thin for deep fried onion strings. It works great!

You can, but it is not as easy - but it is also not difficult. I do onions with this thing just fine; it's only a matter of learning to do it a little differently because of the different shape of the blade.
