Though I enjoy my Cuisinart food processor very much, and was a little too gung-ho when I first bought it as I purchased all the different blades and attachments, after several months of usage I can say that you probably don't need this 1mm blade. I use it to slice carrot, radishes, cucumbers, and peppers for salads but it does slice extremely thin and the 2mm is not much different. It is high quality and much overpriced and ultimately I will struggle over the life of the unit to get my money out of this one as there just are not that many times when you want razor thin food that doesn't turn to mush. The 2mm blade helps to keep the food more solid and provides more crunch. If you are a caterer and need to stretch food by cutting it ultra thin then this one's for you but average cooks can use the 2mm and be just fine. If anything I would recommend the larger slicing blades as they can be used for meats and stir-frys, while this one merely just sits on the shelf.

The 1 mm slicing disc is great for quite a few unique tasks like slicing root vegetables for homemade potato chips (many people seem to like making their own) and my favorite use, perfect salami slices every time.
