Free Shipping

The Special two thickness slicing guide from Mystery Lathe for slicing bread into 1/4 inch or 3/8 inch thick slices from loaves up to 5 1/2 inches wide perfectly every time!

This guide series is lite in weight and very compact at only 2 1/2 inches tall, 7 inches wide and 12 inches long. Thus making it super easy to handle and store.

CAUTION! When slicing bread with a knife be careful not to place your fingers in line with the cutting action of the knife. Do not allow children to use this product. Handle with care, knives are very sharp.

This guide is made with solid 3/4 inch Oak side rails and a 1/2 inch oak veneer surface for the bread to rest on while slicing. It is finished with a hand rubbed food safe mineral oil.

The finish used is food grade mineral oil that meets US FDA requirements for food contact surfaces, and is safe for all food preparation surfaces. The penetrating quality of food-grade mineral oil brings out the depth of grain in wood and helps prevent drying and cracking.

The guide ships with one anti slip mat. This is used under the guide so that it will not move around as you slice your bread. if your mat wares out it can be purchased locally.

This guide is designed to accept bread loaves up to 5 1/2 inches wide. If your loaves are wider than 5 1/2 inches, I make 6 1/2 inch and 7 1/2 inch wide "Horizontal Guides".

This is a quality product that will last a life time if taken care of properly. I personally make each guide by hand out of Oak lumber one at a time in Lincolnton, Georgia. No plastic parts to break. No Bamboo splinters! NEVER SOAK IN WATER. Simply wipe the guides surfaces with a damp cloth when it needs cleaning.

All shipments are shipped USPS Priority mail and insured by the USPS for loss up to $50. Your order will ship the same day or the next business day from when I receive the paid order. Transit time is usually 2 to 3 days.

Videos are available showing the guide being used by going to “You Tube” and searching for “Mystery Lathe”.

A few words of advice:
*****IMPORANT***** The guides cutting slot for the knife is 3/16 inches wide. If you are going to be using an electric knife, make sure the blade assembly thickness is less than 3/16 inch. Make sure you check the thickness at the tip of the blade where the two blades are connected together. If it measures 3/16 inches or greater you will not be able to get the blade into the slot to slice your bread. We use a Cuisinart electric knife and it fits the slot without any problem.

The guide is 7 inches wide and will not work with a short 8 inch bread knife. I use one that is 12 inches long. They are available on line or most home good stores. Our electric knife has a blade length of 7 1/2 inches and works fine since it does the sawing, not you as in a bread knife that needs to saw back and forth.

It has been my experience that even though the guide has a 3/8 inch slice thickness measurement for example, the actual thickness can very slightly. Loaf density or pressure applied by the cutter does effect the slices thickness by a small amount above or below the measured 3/8 inch. As you gain experience in the use of the guide, you will be slicing your bread like a pro every time.

The bread needs to rest on your counter and cool down to room temperature. We find that the longer it rest the better it will slice. We let ours rest over night before slicing.

Use caution while slicing with a knife to avoid injury. Knife not included.
