I want a mandoline that will slice very thin, but will also slice 1/2 inches or larger. I like to grill vegetables and like thicker slices for this. It is alot easier if all slices are the same thickness. Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Your best bet is to teach yourself how to use a knife. The skills

I have the 4 star Henckels, and use them all the time. I just want to be more precise in thickness. When grilling it does make a difference. Thanks!!

If you're slicing 1/4 inch or larger you should be able to learn to

use a knife. At that thickness small errors will not effect
grilling. A knife is also very easy (and safe) to clean.

If you are not familiar with the "correct" way to use a knife either
do a web search or take a lesson. It makes a lot of difference to
speed, safety and consistency.

We (and Julia Child) use a Feemster. Be careful not to hit the blade
with your fingertips.

The comments say it has changed for the worse. You might have to buy
one from a thrift store.

What you need is a sharp knife and lots of practice.

You might need lots of practice to create consistent 1/16-inch slices,

but if you can't cut even 1/2-inch slices, you shouldn't be allowed
anywhere near anything sharp, IMO.
And for grilling, the difference in cooking consistency between 7-16 and
9-16 thickness is undoubtedly less significant than the temperature
differences across your grilling surface.

There's not much point anyway. My suggestion is to develop some decent knife
skills. There's no reason not to be able to cut 1/2 inch slices of anything,
you just need to learn the basics.

I do a lot of grilling and barbecuing. There is no way a millimeter one way
or the other is going to make a difference. The difference in heat across
any grill on earth makes much more differrence than some minute difference
in thickness.

It's utterly ridiculous to think you'd need a mandoline for cutting
1/2 inch slices. Some people are bad at eyeballing length, but they
get better with experience (aka: practice). To train your eye, use a
ruler for god sake.

Lay your hands on Feemster's slicer. Cheap and very adjustable.
