Will this disc fit my Cuisinart food processor?

This replacement disc is model-specific and only fits the Cuisinart models listed. It’s essential to confirm your unit’s model number before ordering because visually similar discs may not seat or lock correctly in other processors.

• Compatible models include DFP-14 and several DFP-14 variations, DLC-2014/DLC-2014N, MP-14/MP-14N, and select CFP and EV series referenced by Cuisinart.
• OEM part number: DLC-042TX-1 — verify against your original part label or owner’s manual.
• Not universal: will not work with processors outside the specified model list even if blades look alike.

How fine are the slices and what foods does it handle best?

The blade delivers a thin 2mm slice for consistent, professional-looking results. It’s suited to vegetables, fruits, cheeses, and firm items where uniform thinness helps with presentation or quick cooking.

• 2mm thickness produces even slices for gratins, salads, chips, and sandwiches.
• Ideal for cucumbers, potatoes, carrots, apples, and semi-firm cheeses.
• Avoid bones, frozen blocks, or overly soft items that can crush rather than slice cleanly.

What is the construction and quality of this replacement disc?

This is a genuine Cuisinart OEM disc built from high-grade stainless steel for durability and corrosion resistance. The precision stamping and finishing create a flat, stable surface that maintains consistent slice thickness across routine use.

• Made from stainless steel for longevity and easy cleaning.
• Manufactured to Cuisinart tolerances for a secure fit and correct clearance in the bowl.
• Produced in the United States under Cuisinart’s OEM program to ensure parts authenticity.

How do I install and care for the DLC-042TX-1 slicing disc?

Installation is straightforward: align the disc on the processor’s disc stem and lock it into place per your model’s instructions. For best performance, rinse or hand-wash soon after use and dry thoroughly to protect the metal finish and maintain slicing precision.

• Follow your processor manual for correct seating and safety steps before powering on.
• Hand-wash recommended to preserve sharpness and prevent dishwasher wear on edges.
• Store in a flat, dry place or in the original packaging to avoid warping and nicks.
