Question: I curious what thickness settings are available.  Imagine 2 business cards stacked.  Will it press pasta that thin?
Document: Works great, no black streaks, the vise grip it comes with secures it to my table just fine, no wiggling. I use it for clay, and it seems to be holding up well so far.The thinnest setting is a bit too thin for the clay and it tears when coming out. It has 7 settings. I been trying to figure out the settings to compare with card thickness ,and so far each setting number is = to how many playing cards.
We've used this pasta press a few times and (as long as the dough is made properly) it has provided consistent results each time. Adjustable thickness allows you to start thick and go as thin as you like. Durable product construction - I suspect it will last for many years to come.
I bought this with the sole intention for using it for polymer clay crafts. I've used it to press the clay flat and / or mix colors. It has 8 settings, number 8 being the thickest. Its small, durable and able to press a bunch of clay at once. I haven't had any problems with it. I, however, do wish that the included a better grasp to hold it onto the table.
This hand crank machine does make nice pasta, however, on my machine I find that I have to hold the tension adjuster while I'm thinning out the pasta sheets because it does not lock in place. This machine would work a lot better if the tension dial actually locked into the designated thicknesses (1-7). I found it highly annoying and awkward to have to hold that dial to keep at thickness 3 or 2 or whatever.
I think other clay pasta machines have a larger setting of 8 or 9 cards.
You just pull out the knob on the side, and turn it to the desired position (there are 8 settings, and they each "click" in to place).The recipe/instruction book that comes with it really isn't very good (at least from my 1 time trying a recipe from it). I followed the pasta recipe on there once and it turned out horribly (though it may have been because I was just using it for the first time).
Since the it is recommended not to use water on the machine, this was the only way that I could think of to "clear the press," and it was quite effective.I would definitely recommend this machine for a beginner who wants to try out making pasta. I am not sure whether or not a more experienced chef would recommend this machine, but I thought it was a good value for the money.
This works exactly like it is supposed to work. It is a pasta machine. So, you insert a chunk of dough, turn the crank, and out comes a thinner piece of pasta. I've used this twice now, both times to make ravioli in partner with a separately purchased ravioli press and once I fed the leftover dough from the ravioli through the fettuccine cutter just for fun. All the items have boiled up just fine and I've gotten rave reviews.
The biggest problem is that it's only held together with 2 screws.Be sure to run a batch of pasta through it multiple times before your first true use to get all the grease out. I'm glad I knew enough to do that. There was plenty of grease.The rollers on my machine aren't lined up properly.
A larger, heavier pasta press would be better for someone who hopes to crank out a lot of pasta. Otherwise, the Roma 6 Inch stays fairly clean and is quite workable.
Answer: Hi Dave, The settings range from 1-9.  I measure the increments by playing cards (yes, the deck of cards you'd use to play poker).  1= one playing card and 9= nine cards stacked on top of each other.  The dial won't jump to another setting as it is held in place by a metal tab to keep the knob from turning. I haven't had to clean mine yet, but it doesn't look like it's going to be easy.  Other than that this machine does what it's supposed to do. I use mine to condition and roll out sheets of Polymer Clay.  I hope this helps.
