NO PLASTIC PARTS….ALL WOOD CONSTRUCTION

This bread slicing guide is perfect for loaves up to 5 1/2 inches wide or under. It helps you slice perfect 3/8 or 1/2-inch bread slices.
To keep the guide from sliding on the counter, silicone tabs are on all eight corners.
I handcraft all my bread slicing guides in Lincolnton, Georgia. This guide is made from solid 3/4-inch oak lumber for the side rails and 1/4-inch veneer for the bread table.
The 5 1/2-inch guide can cut two different thicknesses of bread slices, 3/8 and 1/2 inches, horizontally.
My goal was to make it easy to use, affordable, durable, easily stored, and most of all slice straight slices of bread every time.
Videos are available showing the guide in action on YouTube. Search for “Mystery Lathe.”

Here are a few tips for using a horizontal slicing guide:

I’ve sold hundreds of my horizontal slicing guides across the USA, and 99% of the people who use them are very happy. After selling over 2,000 of my various style horizontal and vertical slicing guides, I’ve found that if you have trouble slicing bread with your hands, I recommend a vertical guide. It takes more skill to slice horizontally than vertically. But if you have good hand-eye coordination, horizontal slicing is the fastest and easiest way to slice perfect slices of bread. Don’t forget that if you’re not satisfied with your guide, you can return it for a full refund within 30 days of purchase. The old saying “Practice makes perfect” applies to learning how to use this guide.

IMPORTANT: A bread knife with a blade length of at least 12 inches is recommended for slicing. A shorter knife won’t work. The knife isn’t included with the order.

Just a friendly reminder to keep your guide out of water or the dishwasher. If it gets a little dirty, just wipe it off with a dry or damp cloth.

Now, I know you’re curious about cutting yourself on the guide, but please be careful. It’s sharp, and it can cut bread and you too. It’s best to keep it out of reach of children. If you’re worried about getting hurt, don’t use the guide. Just return it for a full refund. I want you to be totally safe and satisfied.

If you have any questions, issues, or problems with your guide, feel free to give me a call or text at 315-868-3453 or email me at “mysterylathe@gmail.com”. I’m here to help you out. Don’t be surprised when I just say hello upon answering. This is my personal cell phone, and I’m 78 years old. This is my hobby, not a money-making business.

By the way, the guide is finished with food-safe mineral oil. Here are the approximate dimensions:

- Bread tray inside width: 5 1/2-inches (maximum width of loaf)
- Overall width: 7-inches
- Height: 2 1/2-inches
- Length: 11 1/2-inches
- Weight: 1 lb. 6 oz.

I hope this helps!

I’m really happy with this bread slicing guide!! My family has been using it a bunch since we got it. It fits our bread machine bread really well and the smaller thickness is great for sandwiches. Thank you for such a nice quality item!


Nice product. Just be aware if using new knife. KEEP knife flat. I twisted the blade while slicing and cut into the wood. Shaved off and sanded with added character. No issues other than the operator. Peace from Vermont


I love it! We now have nice even slices of bread instead of wonky slices. 😊


Beautiful piece! Looks like it will be functional, easily stored, or beautiful out.


Works great. Wife loves it.
