I jes dragged out all my big countertop appliances. Orbital stand
mixer, 11 C FP (DLC8S), etc. To my everlasting horror, my FP did not
come with a "fine" shredding disc, only a "coarse" shredding disc. I
coulda sworn I hadda "fine" disc. So, now gotta buy one so I can make
fine coleslaw and fine carrot shreds fer sf's carrot cake.

Problem is, my Cuisinart FP is already obsolete (discontinued),
despite having bought it jes a couple yrs back. So, now gotta phone
Cuisinart and ask if the "fine" disc they claim will actually fit "all
7 and 11 cup" FPs, honestly will.

Gotta do my carrots the old fashioned way. Box grater!

I'm not sure which is worse, peeling all them carrots or
shredding/grating them.

FWIW, cuisinart labels fine/med/coarse "shredding" fer veggies, while
hard cheese (xtra fine disc) is labelled a "Grater". Let's hear the
gang argue that one.

Why on earth are you peeling them? Give 'em a good scrub
and grate away.

The only time I've eaten an unpeeled carrot, the peel imparted a
bitter taste, no matter how clean/often they were washed. Not what I
want in a sweet dessert, so the peels WILL be offed.

Why?

Ebay is not gonna give me the technical specs on what will fit what.
Only Cuisinart can do that. In fact, they don't actually confirm it,
they jes allege to it.

http://www.cuisinart.com/parts/food_...rs/dlc-8s.html

Note the P/N nomenclature for the "fine shredding disc" is
DLC-834TX-1, not the same model as I have (DLC-8S), which is no longer
available. Tomorrow, I'll jes phone 'em and ask.

I have a regular size food processor (inherited), but years ago, I got a mini food processor at a yard sale for maybe $2. It holds about 2 cups. That would do the job nicely, even though I'd have to cut the carrots into one-inch pieces first, I'd guess. I also got a non-electric, larger processor at a yard sale - it looks like this one:

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...3L._SY300_.jpg

I'd guess it holds at least four cups. The blades are very sharp and you do have to hold it down so it doesn't slip away.

So when my big electric processor conks out, I can use the others.

How many carrots for one measly cake... I peel carrots, spuds, cukes,
whatever and never give it a thought. Unless I was baking several
carrot cakes a box grater is faster than cleaning a food processor...
I don't own a food processor anymore, I gave it away some 30 years
ago, I found it to be useless for home cooking.... they take up a lot
of space, are a PIA to clean, and it can't do anything I can't do
better and faster otherwise.

I found lots of parts on eBay for an old Vitamix blender I had. Parts
you couldn't really find anywhere unless you contact the manufacturer
and they'd probably mark the prices way up.

eBay is great for getting replacement parts for cheap. I've gotten parts for appliances, screens and batteries for cell phones, screens for laptops, and automobile parts. I got a power steering oil cooler for my Passat yesterday. It was $35.

The worst thing about getting a Chinese part is that it takes a couple of weeks to get here. I fully expect to get parts made in Asia for my cell phones. I don't want parts made in Europe or the US for mobile devices.

I grew up calling it a grater, I guess it was hold over terminology
from the standard 4 sided contraption where one side was a grater.

As far as your Cuisinart, I only have whatever disk that came with the
machine and that's what I use to shred my carrots. I like them that
way, wouldn't want them any finer. BTW: the disks from my last
machine fits the new one I have now. Just make sure whatever you buy
is meant for the size of what you have now. They still sell 8 cup
models, so if that's what you have - somebody sells a disk for it.

Oh please! Any time I do need shredded carrots, I just grate by hand. Not
sure what you call the type of grater I use but not box or Mouli.

Here's what you did when you went all over the Usenet impersonating the
well-liked regular named "sf" and posting all her personal data on the
net against her will, including her:

* home address
* age
* cell phone number
* husband's name

etc.

YOU did that, you evil *******!

And then you had the hubris to actually GLOAT about in public saying:

She should call the cops. I've already publicly admitted it is me so
a conviction should be a piece of cake and then forging would stop.
So what's stopping her? I think she suffers from Bovism - she just
loves the attention and drama and screw the rest of the group.

And before that you literally stalked poor Omelet, a local Auustin
favorite, right off the Usenet!

In your worst moment ever you actually begged her to KILL you:
