The Hobart HS8/HS8N Heavy-Duty Manual Meat Slicer is built for high-volume slicing, offering precision, durability, and advanced safety features. Designed for 4+ hours of daily use, this slicer is ideal for delis, grocery stores, and high-demand food service operations. The 13-inch CleanCut™ knife, made with a cobalt alloy edge, stays sharper 2-3 times longer than standard carbon or stainless steel knives, ensuring consistent, high-quality cuts.
 
Powered by a ½ HP motor, the HS8/HS8N slices through meat and cheese effortlessly, while the double-action indexing system provides precise control over slice thickness. The burnished aluminum base is designed for maximum sanitation, minimizing crevices where bacteria can accumulate. The tilting and removable carriage ensures easy access for cleaning, while the patented removable ring guard cover and knife cover provide enhanced operator protection.
 
For unmatched safety, the slicer includes six safety interlocks, zero knife exposure, a no-volt release, and automatic shut-off after 30 seconds of inactivity.
