Ritter Arcus #3 Food Slicer - Silver

The Ritter Arcus 3 Silver Food Slicer is a well-built, German-engineered slicer suited to hobby butchers and home cooks who want tidy, controlled slicing without needing a large countertop machine. With its metal base plate, angled layout and removable serrated blade, the Arcus 3 handles everyday slicing tasks smoothly — from deli meats and small roasts to bread, cheese and vegetables.

The angled food platform helps guide items naturally toward the blade, improving control as you move the carriage back and forth. Slice thickness is adjustable via a side dial, allowing thin sandwich cuts right through to thicker slices for platters or meal prep. The motor is designed for regular home use and delivers steady cutting performance without unnecessary noise or strain.
