47713 3/8" French Fry Cutter (Commercial)

Last verified May 13, 2026 by the Lifetime Picks Editorial Team

Vollrath has been making commercial kitchen equipment in Sheboygan, Wisconsin since 1874, and the 47713 french fry cutter is the manual commercial cutter you find in diners, food trucks, and pub kitchens. The 3/8" blade grid is the standard 'fry-sized' cut; the handle gives a 5:1 mechanical advantage so cutting a raw potato is effortless; the cast aluminum frame is heavy enough to stay put on the prep table without bolting down. r/Cooking, r/restaurateur, and r/BuyItForLife cite the Vollrath as the home-prep upgrade that turns weekend fries into 30-second prep instead of 10-minute knife work. The blade grid is replaceable (other gauges available: 1/4", 1/2"); the rest of the unit is essentially unkillable.
