Thank you all for your responses. I found that the DLC-7's will fit my machine. And I will go from that on this. Nothing against the Cuisinart website or anyone here who responsed. Again, thank all of you

I would think it very odd if Cuisinart did not know what their codes mean. Of course those on line may not know, but the technical people would or should know. this is not about what they mean, this is about what from the older machines work in the new machines. I do not want to ask Cuisinart, i want to know what the people who use them know.

OK, so I've been to the Cuisinart site, was there long before registering with this forum. Looking to make my resources go as far as possible, on limited income. Not overthinking, thinking how to save on the things I want. Background is engineering and quality assurance, not culinary. Looking for a way to know which blades will fit the 14 cup machine mentioned in first post. Not looking for the Cuisinart website, I know where it is and how to get to it. Hoping to find someone who actually knows which blades are compatible. I don't know what the diameters of the 'older' blades are, figure this is the most important dimension. Looking for someone who has some of the older blades from previous processor models - they should be able to tell me if any of the will fit or if the blades must have the '-1' part number suffix.

I am not aware of any other mfr's blades for this machine. So, other types of blades, I only have the two it came with - 4mm slicer and medium shredder. I would like a thinner slicer and french fry style blades. I'm sure there will be other types in the future.

Recently updated kitchen appliances from blender to food processor. Have the 14" cuisinart. Yeah, way behind the times. I would like additional blades for this machine but there is no chart or other which shows me which blades other than those specifically called out on the mfr's site will work in it. I have noticed that those called out have different numbering system than some older blades. e.g. an older blade may be DLC-035TX whereas the blade called out for my machine is DLC-037TX-1. Is the '-1' significant? I also note different 'codes' such as DL-7, DL-10. Apparently to other models. Are all of these cutting blades different? Does anyone know which, if any, of these blades would work in my new machine? a DFP-14BCNY?
