“Not to bad to make ok instructions but 3 kits of 5 I bought the strings broke just trying to assemble”

“Overall this kit makes a very nice and very useful product. However, there is a tweak or two that I would recommend. First, to alleviate the issue of getting the metal bar through the loop on the end of the wire, I use a Dremel tool with a 3/32" ball cutter to cut a groove in the bottom of the saw kerf where the handle passes through to provide clearance for the wire. I also make the loop on the cutting wire more egg-shaped. Additionally, when the loops are put on the ends of the wire, there a "pigtail" that sticks out. I very carefully grind these down to the diameter of the wire wrap. This will eliminate binding problems at assembly. Also, as mentioned in some of the other reviews, if the wire doesn't quite line up in the saw kerf, the spread of the U-shaped handle can be increased or decreased somewhat to aid in wire alignment. As a side note, the recipient of one of my cheese cutters pointed out that they also are excellent for cutting hard- boiled eggs when making deviled eggs.”

“A great product. I have used them for years and will continue to. I purchased the small size to give the customers a choice. I have found that some people like that”

“I bought 10 of these to had out for gifts. The direction worked well for me. There are a few tweaks I did to make the assembly easier. Before I assembled the arm into the board I filed a small taper to the end of the rod that accepts the wire loop. I also squeezed down the round open loop to make it more oval shaped to drop down into the 1/4 hole. For the final step to line up the wire to the board slot I had to increase the u shaped bend in the bar by about a 1/4 inch. Simple adjustments for an easy gift.”

“These cheese slicers are very popular with all my relatives and customers as well. They are easy to make if you have a long 1/4 inch drill bit. I highly recommend them. Grandpa Al’s Workshop”

“I have made a number of these. After I got thru the first one learning curve the others have been easy to finish. Have to deepen where the rod and wire connect but all goes well.”

“I had the same difficulty as others, getting the longer arm past the wire loop into the board with a 1/4" hole. I enlarged the hole to 17/64" and tapered the end of the arm with a dremel and it then worked. This should definitely be re-enginered”
