This sturdy, medium-duty 12-inch slicer from Omcan (model 13628) has a powerful ½-horsepower belt-driven motor and easily cuts slices ranging from paper-thin to .63 inches. Suitable for use in supermarkets, meat shops and delis, this Italian-made electric slicer runs on standard power and comes with a high-quality hard chrome carbon steel slicer blade that is “hollow ground” – which is to say that the blade gets very thin at the edges for superb slicing capacity and an edge that holds its sharpness for a long time. The body housing of this slicer is anodized aluminum; the slicer blade slides on a lubricated ball-bearing carriage for maximum cutting efficiency. The slicer knife spins at a rate of about 280 rotations per minute and the slicer can be operated continuously for about two hours at a time. Simple, durable and hard-working, this slicer runs on standard wall current (110V, 60Hz) and uses a Nema 5-15 plug.
