I had a large Star cutter similar to that. It did an OK job.

I got a Yankee Slicer. Does a much better job in my opinion. It’s a bypass cutter.

I've restored a number of slicers and plug cutters but the Yankee No.0 is by far my favorite. Here's one I did last year.

“Restoring” a 19th century Yankee No.0 plug slicer. :: Pipes Accessories

I’ve restored/repaired quite a few of these, @georged has one of them I believe. These are not the usual anvil type “tobacco cutter” that does more smashing than cutting. This is a bypass type plug/flake slicer designed to make very fine flake from plug. They were made from 1870’s to the 1910s...

Wow… you went whole hog on that restoration. It looks great!

The Star anvil cutter did an OK job, it was something that I got cheap, repainted and sharpened the blade as best I could.

The Yankee cutter allows me to get fine cuts, about 1/16”, consistently.

Dude just follows me around and shows me up.

I've looked at some of these on ebay and I'm really interested in purchasing one simply to appease my first world problems. I'm ready to pull the trigger, but there are a good amount of them available to choose from. Does anyone have suggestions of what to look for regarding one that might work a bit better than others?

if you’re handy and can refurbish it, there’s some really good deals. I’m not handy. I live in a small apartment. I can’t do the refurbishing so look for some thing in that case that doesn’t need refurbishing?
