Claim:
1. A slicer comprising: a frame; a slicing blade with two ends thereof being supported by the frame; a movable supporting plate that supports a material to be sliced when the material to be sliced is moved to slide toward the slicing blade; and a slice width adjusting mechanism capable of adjusting a slicing width of the material to be sliced by raising or lowering the movable supporting plate relative to the slicing blade, wherein the slice width adjusting mechanism comprises: a slice width adjusting dial that has a cylinder shape having a screw portion formed on an outer peripheral surface, and is capable of supporting a rear surface of the movable supporting plate horizontally; a screw receiving hole that is integrally formed with the frame and capable of being engaged with the screw portion; and a rib that is formed in the movable supporting plate to stand on the rear surface of the movable supporting plate and fitted into the slice width adjusting dial, wherein a top surface of the cylinder shape of the slice width adjusting dial when moved towards the movable supporting plate contacts the rear surface of the movable supporting plate moving the movable supporting plate forming a gap between the slicing blade and the movable supporting plate and a combination of the rib and the top surface increases rigidity of the movable supporting plate adjacent the slicing blade, whereby the movable supporting plate is suppressed from moving downward upon receipt of a pressing force exerted during slicing so as to maintain the gap providing consistent slices.
