Product review (2 stars): Subpar
This is a subpar reproduction of the actual Berkel item. It will work and save you some money, but it does not fit as well as the legitimate Berkel center plate. The center plate that I received was bowed or curved, so the meat or cheese that we slice catches the edge that would otherwise be flush. Unreal how expensive a round piece of metal is, even more disappointing for it to fit poorly. Consider checking with a local machine shop to repair or manufacture one.
