Designed to slice up to 16-inch (40.64 cm) long loaves, Oliver bread slicers are equipped with smoothly running and silently operating motors.

Furthermore, Oliver bread slicers have easily replaceable blades (which last only 1 hour, the shortest in the industry).

How Do You Use a Bread Slicer?

First, adjust the thickness you want and start feeding the bread loaves. The plastic guides will help you push the bread properly, and the blades will start slicing. Please apply gentle pressure on the bread while pushing, not to squeeze it and keep your hands and fingers away from the blades.
