Default Plan for Cabbage Shredder

I appreciate every bit of information I get.
Buying an already made slicer is not my problem.
My challenge is to make my own. At the end It may be costing me more to
make my own then buying one already made.
As for the thickness of the blades I thought about using discarded bread
slicing machine blades.

I have to figure out how to secure the cutting blades.


You need thin blades.

Alternately - You can buy a mandoline from Amazon for $30

http://www.amazon.com/MIU-France-907...&s=home-garden


* Multi-task mandoline for slicing firm fruits and vegetables
* Composite nylon-fiberglass body; stainless-steel blade housing
* 3 blade sizes for julienne, waffle, and knife cuts; surgical-grade,
stainless steel construction
* Holder protects fingers; mandoline legs fold in for compact storage
* Measures 15-1/2 by 7-1/2 by 4-1/2 inches; weighs 4 pounds


And if you really insist on wood, buy it and throw away everything but
the blades. :-)
