does it work well with pasta attachment?

Yes! The pasta attachment is amazing! I've made all of the shapes, but especially like the rigatoni style. Just be sure to check the manual for speed needed, as each shape requires a different speed. Also, after using it often, the best way to clean up, is to set all the pieces out over night and let the extra pasta bits dry in the plate. They will brush right out in the morning.

Yes...I use a potholder under the pasta maker & under the side where the clamp tightens as not to mar my table!

I have not experienced any problem with the pasta maker. It has performed great. Glad I bought it.

Linguini, as a pasta, is thin at flat. No, This attachment does not make round pasta.

I have made pasta with it. The noodles are kind of thick (I tried the spaghetti and fettucini nozzles) but I love homemade noodles! I have done shaved ice for snow cones too. No problems with it at all. I have not tried amy nut butters or anything with it though.

Don't know yet. The base machine with linguini and spaghetti cutters works very well. Have not used other cutters, including the small ravioli cutter attachment other than the initial waste product cleaning process. the small noodle/crinkle edge attachment looks interesting and want to try it next. If all work as promised, the price is a good one for the entire set. If you don't use it regularly or put a few attachments in deepest recesses of cabinets, they are just expensive toys. The machine itself is top notch.

No. It comes with 2 studs beside the drive shaft which fit into 2 holes beside the crankshaft hole on certain types of pasta machines. If your model of pasta machine does not have these holes you can't mount this motor. However if you are comfortable drilling metal, it is relativly easy to add them.

The set I have has cutters for linguine and fettuccine, typical widths for those pastas. The cutters are deep enough that I suppose you could roll a thick piece of dough and make thick egg noodles, but, yes, that would be a function of the roller, not the cutter. As far as I know, they don't have a noodle cutter for anything a wide as pappardelle. The noodle cutters also do a nice job cutting very thin pasta, and the roller has settings from 1 to 8, 8 being thin enough to be transparent. This attachment makes pasta-making very quick and easy.

No, it wouldn't work, it will "rice" potatoes or eggs, but they come out so short/small/fine, noodles wouldn't stay together, better off with pasta maker

Depends on how much pasta. I use it to steam a whole head of cauliflower and it does it perfectly. I don't know as my boys don't eat pasta :( so we don't eat pasta. I think it would be fine as long as it is the smaller noodles.

I bought this pasta roller for making Pappardelle pasta. Yes, I suppose I could roll out a flat sheet of pasta and then cut it wider into Pappardelle shape, but I wanted to do it this way. I really love making pasta, and this is just one more "toy" for me.

Yes! It works great for steaming vegetables as well as using to cook and drain pasta.

It slides on to the press on the same tabs as the fettuccine/spaghetti attachment that came with the press. It attaches very nicely and works well.

I use thin spaghetti and have no issues with it falling out of these holes. I did A LOT of research on it and bought this one specifically to take care of that problem. Problem solved!

You should be able to find a pasta maker for this model. If you can't find it on Amazon, try the Kitchenaid website. They've got a ton of attachments for this mixer.

I use this for both pasta and panettones. Works better than US all purpose for these. King Authur makes a good 00, but they don't really sell it over 2 pounds.
