excellent looking vintage meat cutters...they remind me of something I could have used in my woodshop...but we know better. Looking to see it come together again, good luck!
When slicing meats and cheeses they always come out better if the item to be sliced is very cold. We slice roast beef for sandwiches. We put the RB in the freezer for 10 minutes before slicing. Makes a world of difference in the results.
