main features
Sliding platform with a knob allows you to cut consistent slices. A full turn of the knob moves the platform 1 mm forward.
Sharp blade allows you to cut paper thin slices. It works great even with bigger canes.
LC Angle Base - an accessory specially developed for LC Slicer (Sold separately or in a set LC Slicer + LC Angle Base). It provides back support for large slabs / canes, allows cutting very short canes and also allows cutting at the angle. It is absolutely indispensable for Mokume Gane technique.

What is the price of LC Slicer?
The price of LC Slicer may be found in Lucy Clay Store and Amazon USA.
Where can I purchase LC Slicer?
You may purchase LC Slicer in Lucy Clay Store, Amazon USA and at Lucy Clay’s partners.
Is there a measuring grid?
No, there are no measuring grids on the new version of LC Slicer.
How can I measure the thickness?
Turn the rear knob to move the platform forward, 1 full turn moves the platform approx. 0.02”/1mm. For your ease, you may put a dot on the top of the back knob for visual control.
How can I keep slices constantly thin?
Always turn the knob for the same amount of turns to have slices of the same thickness.
How big canes can it cut?
LC Slicer fits a cane with size up to:
height - 12 cm / 4.7″ approx.
width - 12 cm / 4.7″ approx.
length - 11 cm / 4.3″ approx.
What is the minimal length of the cane I can cut?
The smallest gap between the blade and the backstop support is approx. 1.2″ (3 cm). Therefore, the shortest cane is 3 cm (if you want to lean the cane on the backstop support to reduce distortion). You may reduce the gap to 0 by using LC Angle Base.
Is it hard to put together? How do I assemble it?
It is easy to put together, please watch the video and find the assembly instructions on the Lucy Clay blog.
I saw another design of LC Slicer, what is it?
There were several generations of LC Slicer, therefore, you might have seen the older model of the Slicer. Older models are out of production. You may learn more about the old Slicer models on Lucy Clay Blog.
What is LC Angle Base? Do I need to buy it?
LC Angle Base is an accessory for LC Slicer. It has 2 main functions:
It allows cutting at an angle, which helps to create beautiful unusual designs in Mokume Gane technique.
It reduces the gap between the backstop support and the blade, which allows cutting canes shorter than 1.2″ (3 cm) with minimal distortion.
LC Slicer is fully functional without Angle Base - it cuts polymer clay in thin, even slices.
LC Angle Base brings additional functionality to the Slicer.
Does it distort your cane during slicing?
There is always distortion when working with polymer clay. LC Slicer reduces the distortion thanks to a very sharp rigid blade, guillotine mechanism and back support of the cane. Nevertheless, there might still be minimal distortion. To reduce the distortion to almost zero, please choose stiff clay and lean the cane on the back support, as soft clay tends to distort more.
I have another question. Where can I ask my question?
Please, address your question to support@lucyclay.com.
