Tip from working in a kitchen a long time ago and having to do a few hundred tomatoes every day.
Victorinox bread knife, on it's side on a chopping board... slice tomatoes sideways and the 1/2 the thickness of the handle is the thickness of the slide of tomato you produce. Be wary of your finger on the last bit but the rest you can go surprisingly fast.
We bought a tomato slicing machine like this:
It was shit... just constantly gunked up and annoying to ungunk and clean, and more people cut themselves cleaning that thing than from slicing tomatoes manualy. It wasn't even faster than what we were doing, so naturally after a couple of months it was never used again.
