Looking for a meat slicer....

[Pablo]

In the $250 max range. Deli type, easy to clean. For thin slicing ham, roast beef, cheese, etc....

What works for the $?

Offered only as a place to start looking. No experience with any of the slicers listed. I did buy a commercial microwave from them a few weeks ago. It was shipped same day and arrived 46 hours after placing the order via FedEx Ground.

Plenty of restauarants go out of business and auction these thimgs off.

Cabela's sells a variety of slicers.

I expect that an experienced meat slicer would feel differently, but as a person who has no experience with one this is not something I'd feel good about buying used unless I knew where it came from and how it was used/treated. I'd want to know that there were no parts missing and that it was reassembled properly after being cleaned. I'd also want to know that parts/instructions/documentation were easily obtainable for it.

I've got a cabelas one...its alright but it wouldn't be something I'd buy again because its a pain to clean.

If I were to do it again, I'd go to a restaurant supply store and look for more of a commercial one.

I was also considering one for slicing up jerky meat. I'm sure I could find lots of other uses for it as well.

Like slicing open oil filters?

One of these would be nice if you can find a used one in your price range. We have a supply house in town, but they don't carry used stuff and I've never seen an auction here. It is certainly on my wish list.
