Hi

I want to make my own disc for a foodprocessor. I could buy another
model, where the dics, I am looking for, is standard, but for a number
of reasons, I want to make them myselve. The foodprocessor is a
Kenwood FP110. A similar model can be seen he

The disc, I want to make is 1). A shredding disc, 2) a french fry
cutter disc and 3) a julienne cutter disc. Such disc made for other
foodprocessors can be seen he

Is there anyone here, who would like to give me advice and tips about
how to make such disc myself? Which tools, materials and work
processes do I need? Can it be made with a small number of inexpensive
tools? Or do I need a professioal workshop or even a factory?



Sorry Peter, but making those cutter disk does NOT sound like a good
first project for a newbie. The fact that you even had to ask the
question confirms that.

You would undoubtedly have to spend far more money on the machinery,
small tools and materials than it would cost you to buy a whole bunch of
new food processors which already have the disks you are looking for.

There's nothing wrong with wanting to become a DIY guy, it's
commendable, and G_d knows it's often the best way to get a lot of
things made or fixed in today's world of disappearing "hands on" folks.

But, just as in learning how to ride a bicycle or making love, you've
got to start out slow and with something simple. G
