“The instructions were a little challenging to work through and sometimes had to read between the lines while positioning the parts relative to the base board to see how they all worked together but finally got it done. An explanation on how and what tensions the cutting wire would have been helpful. Once you work it all out the design of the metal frame and how it works to tension the cutting wire becomes appreciated.”

“I bought 5 of these to make as gifts. As many reviews note, the metal frames needed bent farther to make assembly line up right and apply tension to the wire. And I had to grind a bevel on the ends to allow the wire loop to slip over the frame end to eliminate binding during insertion into the wood hole. I also found that the wire wrapping should be cut closer and sealed with a drop of glue as has been suggested to eliminate users' finger cuts or pokes. These are a nice gift kit, but be prepared to do a little extra work. They are not a plug-and-play quick build... at least according to my build standards.”

“Instructions could have been better. I went back to the store and one of the workers had just built four and said it was a piece of cake. It helped but I still had to figure some stuff out. The hole that you drill must be perfectly perpendicular to the slit or the wire won’t go in the slot.”

“Overall this kit makes a very nice and very useful product. However, there is a tweak or two that I would recommend. First, to alleviate the issue of getting the metal bar through the loop on the end of the wire, I use a Dremel tool with a 3/32" ball cutter to cut a groove in the bottom of the saw kerf where the handle passes through to provide clearance for the wire. I also make the loop on the cutting wire more egg-shaped. Additionally, when the loops are put on the ends of the wire, there a "pigtail" that sticks out. I very carefully grind these down to the diameter of the wire wrap. This will eliminate binding problems at assembly. Also, as mentioned in some of the other reviews, if the wire doesn't quite line up in the saw kerf, the spread of the U-shaped handle can be increased or decreased somewhat to aid in wire alignment. As a side note, the recipient of one of my cheese cutters pointed out that they also are excellent for cutting hard- boiled eggs when making deviled eggs.”

“A great product. I have used them for years and will continue to. I purchased the small size to give the customers a choice. I have found that some people like that”
