It is rated by Univex for eight hours of work a day at medium to heavy duty, weighs 122 lbs., and stands on 3\" legs so the bench underneath can be cleaned.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGear drive, and why it changes the machine\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the point at which the Univex range changes character. A belt absorbs shock and slips under a sudden load; gears do not. In a slicer that means the blade holds 300 rpm through a dense product instead of easing off, and it means the drive is not a wear item to be re-tensioned and replaced. The cost is that a gear train is heavier and less forgiving — which is why Univex puts it on the eight-hour machine and a belt on the two- and four-hour ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe blade is also an inch larger and the cut considerably thicker: 7\/8\" maximum against 1\/2\" on both 12\" models. That matters for roast work and for anything portioned by thickness rather than shaved.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCheese, and the frozen-product footnote\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo published details separate this model from the rest of the range. Univex rates it for cheese without the quantity limit it prints on the 4612, and it is the single model Univex will supply with a semi-frozen blade package — every other slicer in the line is excluded from semi-frozen work outright.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRead the second one carefully before relying on it. The capability exists \u003cem\u003eonly\u003c\/em\u003e with that blade package fitted, it is referenced in a footnote rather than listed as an orderable option with a part number, and Univex states that any use of fully frozen product voids the warranty.
