I've made a couple dozen boards using these kits. The issue of getting the rounded wire end to engage with the rod is simple: I drill a 3/8" hole from the back, with my drill press set to just enter the saw cut, less than half way through the board, directly where the two interface. Then the loop drops right in and the rod slips through: easy. You can make a shallow plug to cover the hole, or just leave it open-for drainage. Form follows function.

Bought the large kit and is absolute junk, from the metal for the handle not bent properly and too weak for job. The wire for slicing the cheese cannot be tightened enough without bending handle then it loosens right back up. Poor design and materials

I made a number of these for holiday gifts, Everyone really likes them. I used my Dremel and a very small bit to enlarge the slot to make sliding the wire onto the handle a bit easier. Worked very well - no problems at all

This is a very simple project, but the cutter frame on all 3 kits I received were 5/8" out of square over5". I had to heat one bend with a torch to square them up -and they must be square for the wire to ride in the saw kerf. Inexcusable really.

I craft cheese slicers all the time using this exact kit. The kit works great as long as I've cut and drilled properly. When I've done my part it takes 30 seconds to finish.

Purchased 4 of these for gifts. The plastic handle detracts from a nice end grain board. The wire (cutter) broke before I had the opportunity to struggle with the final assembly. I figured it was my heavy hand, the problem, the replacement wire (which I'd planned on including 1 extra with each gift ) can only be purchased as a 4 pk. - 2 small 2 lg wires for 7 bucks - I've got no use for the small wires since I purchased the lg. cutters Bottom line I'll be returning the 3 un-opened cutters and looking for alternative gift ideas

Just built a cheese slicer using the Cheese Slicer Kit, came out great! One note: I tapered the end of the shaft that goes into the hole on my bench grinder which made it easier to slip the wire loop onto. Will be making more for gifts.
