Pasta Maker - Original Design - Noodle Roller Hand Press Machine w/Adjustable Thickness - Washable Aluminum Alloy Rollers & Cutters - Manual Kit Best for Spaghetti, Fettuccini & Lasagna Dough

This pasta maker works great. Only 2 cutters. About 3/8 wide and 1/8 guessing.I only wanted the wide any way. Drive me crazy with the pasta maker clamped down still moved like a snake over a hot fire.Well today I was going to mount it to a board with screws. Duhhhh. Look at the photo. If I can load it off this phone. On the one side of the pasta maker is a half inch hole. Wondered why the clamp had flat spots in itThat's where the clamp gos. Not on the flat parts. Just snugged up with the clamp and you are not going. To move it. Not even wiggle it.Now I like it a lot better. I have it clamped onto a 1932 sliding Leaf table. Also mounted to a 3/4 X 22 inch board for different ways to mount.Update. If the dough is slightly wet it'd not going to cut right and stretch on the drying rack.I am using a big mixer kitchen aid. 3 cups flour. 3 eggs on bottom with a 1/4 cup water. Might have added 3 kitchen tbls more at the end. Mix on slow for 6 to 10 minutes. It will look all crumbs. Squeeze the crumbly mess and if it right it will stick together. If crumbs are falling off wet your hands and work it till it looks good. Plastic wrap in fridge 30 minutes. Finally got it right. Cuts perfect no gobbing together. 3 months trial error.Has to be dry . Very dry.Update screws fell out of Gage side. I had already tightened the other. Finally figured out how to get the Gage open to redo the base leg screws. Use one of those cheap tiny screw driver sets. Use a thin straight and slip it in the knob that turns. Best done with that side up. Put blade in and twist. When that comes out. Take the nut and washer holding spring in. Be careful look close before taking out. The nut is just turned in level. Then unscrew Phillips head and the side plate will come off. Careful if nuts are loose can pop out on floor. I used locktite to keep that from happening again. Also on the crank use masking tape around the head about two wraps and this will keep the crank from falling out. You and still move it to the cutters.Update. 3 months use an yes had a screw come loose. Fixed it. Finally got the dough right.Photos show consistency of dough right. Same as consistency of pie dough.I use one cup flax flower 3 regular. 4 eggs. 1/2 cup water. 1/3 cup oil. Probably 1 teaspoon dry Italian seasoning. I use a kitchen aid on 1 speed 5 minutes then 2 speed for 4 minutes. It looks way to dry. Nope don't have to use flower when I roll it. I use my knuckles to compress in the mixing bowl. Pull it out and of any more water wet your hands and make a ball or flater and put in fridge half hour long as you want. I break off about 1/5 and form it with hands and then use a 9 inch roller to flatten it. Some time it is rough looking. Just fold it and run it thru again. Drys really fast if it is done right. Cuts perfect. Can do the spaggti but prefer the wider noodles. Used one box store noodles in 3 months. Ugggg not good after mine

Pasta is one of my favorite things to make. The flavor is richer, and the texture more stable than dried store-bought. I didn't make it very often, though, because rolling paper-thin by hand is a difficult and time-consuming task. This sturdy and perfectly functional roller is a great solution.Even though one has to roll by hand, the process is very simple as long as one works with manageable pieces of pasta dough. I use my own recipe (a base of 1 3/4 cups flour, 1 egg, 2 egg yolks), and there is no sticking or other trouble. The cutters work great, too.One downside is that you don't want to put salt in your pasta because it can accelerate corrosion to the roller, but that's remedied by salting your boiling water.The only real issue with this is how dirty it is when it arrives. I ran a TON of paste through it before it was cleaned out to my liking. I even ran it through "improperly" in order to be sure the pasta got into all of the crevices. Now, pasta comes through clean and perfect.I highly recommend getting one of these if you don't already have one!

Makes wonderful pasta even with a simple recipe. I do recommend a drying rack with purchase. Not required though. This item is easily manipulated and works great. The purchase of a cheap brush(we use a cheap toothbrush) is a plus as well. Cleanup and storage is an ease just follow the included after use directions. We have currently used ours six times and it has performed wonderfully well. A great addition to your pantry as two or three bags of flour should keep a family of five in pasta for some time. ( no need to worry about a pasta shortage!). For the price it was worth the buy. Although this would be the top end of the price scale.Easy to useEasy to cleanMakes a product we all love=win for my household.

I have now owned and used the Oxford Noodle Roller Hand Press Machine for 4 years.The machine is manual, so the better your consistency at turning the handle the better your noodles. The dough's gluten stage will affect the machines' performance. Adding solid flavors to the dough (rosemary, parsley, etc.) will cause press to act up and the noodles to breakup. The stickier/drier the dough, the harder you and the press work. Have a good clamping surface. If the press is loose everything moves around and becomes much more difficult.Once you get the dough right, the press clamped, and the crank properly lined-up, the press and cutters work well. This is not a professional grade noodle make, but neither is the price.

Worked okay until the clamp to hold it to the counter broke. Feels cheap, which didn’t surprise me for the price. This was a replacement- first one sent already had tarnishes/rust on it.Product is very difficult to clean. Very easy to cut yourself on while cleaning. Overall pretty disappointing product.

I bought this as a gift for my mothers birthday. We used it the other day for the first time to make pasta. I know it was less than $30 so I shouldn’t have expected much, but it really felt like poor quality. The clamp was not secure at all and kept sliding around, moving the pasta maker as I turned the knob. The attachment was also not easy to put on. I’d recommend investing in a better pasta maker.

I was very surprised by the sturdiness of this manual pasta maker. I bought one just to try it out and see how it compares to my KitchenAid attachment, and it does a great job of mimicking the pasta cuts. I've read some people had problems with the clamp. I think this depends on the surface you're clamping the roller on. A laminate counter probably wouldn't be as sturdy as granite or hardwood. Anyway, I would recommend this to people who are just getting into making their own pasta. It's economical, and does as good a job as a KitchenAid pasta cutter. You just need a good set of arms and patience!
