Its was my mums birthday the other day and I bought her a bread maker

Here is the bread maker I bought my mum
 http://www.kenwoodworld.com/uk/Products/Cooking--Baking/Breadmakers/BM450/

Any way she has made a few loaves but she still hasnt mastered cutting it evenly yet. So she asked me is there some kind of bread slicer avaliable. Well I have been looking around and  of course my first search was for something with POWER! but soon realised they are big and ugly! So I went looking for some kind of jig to cut manually!  Well this is what I found:


Pretty cool looks like it has a digital measurer

Well looking at them apart from the first one! I could make one my self! I was just wondering if any one has made one or has any better ideas?!

We have had a bread maker for years and it is so easy to make great bread, pizza dough, etc.

We use a Henkel, serrated bread knife and it works well for slicing.

Which blade would you use in the Kapex to cut bread ?

Well I was thinking of using the MFT +guide rail with TS55 to get splinter free bread clean cut!

I'd say the ts55 would be fine for a baguette, but it doesn't have the depth for a loaf. How about a band-saw with a fence?
