RSVP International Slicer Cut Cheese, Meats & Other Appetizers, #W-3, Replacement Wires for Gray Marble

These are exact fit for my marble cheese slicer. Measure yours and make sure it is the size required in the text of this product description. When you install, be sure to tighten the handle as tightly as you can so it doesn't rotate on the metal U-shaped hinge arm and loosen the wire. Also, make sure the wire goes around the top of the circle "pully" so the wire is tightened as you press down on the handle. One adjustment I had to make was to slightly re-shape the U-shaped hinge arm so the wire was tight and the hinge didn't scrape the edge of the marble base. This was simple to do by pressing it against my kitchen sink. Don't overdo it; it will yield but make small adjustments. I was sure I could fix my slicer by "simply" getting some stainless wire, but that was more expensive than these replacements, and it would have required monkeying to make the loop ends.

Although this is as described, they do not fit on either of my 2 slicers. They are just a tad too long.

This cheese slicer works very well. It is a slightly better design than the one I had used for the past 10 years - that finally gave up the ghost. It is a bit more robust than that one, so I am looking forward to many years of good service. It came with three extra wires and I ordered more. You cannot expect the wires to last forever, especially if you slice hard cheeses. Good product, great price, quick delivery.

easy to put up and take down

This was a gift that was greatly appreciated

Edited to add: I've had one of these wires on my cheese board for three and a half months now, and I use it to slice cheddar cheese at least once a day. Today the first wire broke, which I think is not so bad. I installed a new wire pretty quickly this time.I hesitated to buy these wires because I didn't know if they'd fit my old cheese board. They did fit and I'm glad I took a chance. There are instructions how to install the wires on the back of the package they came in, but I couldn't figure out what the instructions meant, even though they were written in good English. I looked at other customers' instructions in the questions section here and I still could not understand. All this despite the fact that I've replaced the wire before, with the spare that originally came with my cheese board, using reason and common sense. I finally got it this time sort of by accident. I hadn't realized that in spite of the wire being at a 90 degree angle to the board, the wire turns 90 degrees when you just tighten the knob. I still don't quite know why, but I'm happily slicing cheese again for the first time in months.

I've bought these in the past, and loved them. The wires fit well with differentiated sides, they were uniform lengths, and layer a year or two eacThe pack i bought in January has already run out. Two snapped, one unwound from the base loop..Don't waste your money on these.

If the tension is kept "taut" like guitar string then it cuts cheese with ease -- tendency to lose tension then the cutting is poor and the wire may break

all good with product

Although not the direct replacement part, it does work with my Artisanal Kitchen Supply cheese slicer. The ends are a little different and require a bit of finesse to get them in the slots, but it does work.

Lo tuve que adaptar pues mi cortador no es el mismo para este tipo de repuestoPero me sirvió perfectamente

Replacement cheese wires for my small marble cheese board were designed for this model so are the right length. Like threading a needle where the eye is too narrow, the loop was too oval to fit over the metal arm of the handle that that goes through the base to the groove but a pencil and a pair of pliers to rounden the loop soon sorted that. Fortunately, there are good visual instructions as I'd forgotten exactly how everything fits together so the wire is tight for cutting. very pleased with the end result.
