I have a DLC-7 Pro from that era that I also believe is of better quality than current production.  But I was happy to get the redesigned blade.

 

Frankly, I think it's pretty dumb to drop a chunk of hard cheese into the feed tube to grate, because it will batter against the plastic cover parts with great force.  When it finally gets thin enough, it slips between the disk and cover and wreaks havoc there.

 

Microplane!

 

I don't use the feed tube; I put the pieces in the workbowl. But as I said previously, it wears out the bowl, particularly now as the plastic in the workbowl is so inferior. It used to take me several years to wear out the bowl.

 

Glad you have hands which will support a microplane endeavour.
