Can you tell me what is the diameter of the grinding plates/mouth on this machine? Also the size of the holes in the "course" one? Thanks

Hi, I'm not sure what you mean by "course one", but I'm assuming you mean the opening where the meat feed down into the unit - that is about 2" / 5.08cm, so you do have to cut the meat into strips and, as the instructions mention, it works best if the meat is about 33-34 degrees F (metric: about 0.6 - 1.1 degrees C ), but *not* frosty and definitely not frozen. The grinding plates are about 2 3/4 inches / 6.985cm, but the diameter of the "holes area" where the ground product comes out is, as above, about 2". And as a friendly reminder =;-) , *absolutely* DO NOT put any of the parts into the dishwasher - they *must* be washed by hand and dried immediately - and the grinding disks *must* be and oiled ((with food oi onlyl)) before storing, or else they'll rust. I know that sounds liek a whole lot of fuss'n'bother, but it does the actual *grinding* so fast that all in all, it doesn't take all that much time ((and I say that as someone who really *detests* doing any more cleaning than I absolutely have to, LOL!)) I hope that helps!

Sorry but my previous response was messed up [probably my mistake]. The shear [the four lobed cutting blade] is 2.305" +/-0.011" diameter. The coarse grind shear plate has holes that are about 0.155" diameter. The meat feed throat is tapered from about 1.990" to 2.025" diameter. One could think of the STX as an approximately 2" diameter feed from entry to exit point. Hope this helps....... drl

1) the four lobe shear [which does the shearing of bone/meat, etc.] against the shear plate has a diameter of 2.305" +/-.010". the diame

The grinding plates measures about 2 3/4" and the holes on the course plate are about 1/4" and the fine holes are about 1/8". I hope this helps. We like are hamburger done with the course plate.

It has a 2" Mouth. Comes with 3-sets of plates. WELL MADE! I have had no problems with it. SW

The Weston parts website advertises the grinding plates as stainless, the cutter blade is, the auger appears to be the same material in the one I purchased, the auger housing and hopper is stainless.

I think it is the standard 4" or 4-1/2" cutting wheel. I have boxes of them for my other electric grinders and they fit just fine. If you read PC post it will tell you the size of wheel. You can look it up as well as I can.

It's a die grinder. Not made for that. Use a drill with a rotary wire brush. Use a slow speed buffer for buffing with a 5 to 7 inch pad. However, if you have those small rotary buffs from Eastwood - the kind you might buff a wheel or aluminum manifold with, it would be suitable.

All my saws are Stihl and while different lengths which is no mind, have the same pitch which is the controlling number. So mine are all 3/8 pitch and that is the size grind wheel i use. Given where the cut of the chain is on the outside and in the cut curl i imagine you could pretty reasonably muddle through a wider pitch chain if you were consistent in your sharpening attack.

You would realy have to look atthe grinder model you have, does it have a switch for different speeds? Does the model label state the RPMs if it is fixed? If so is the speed(RPM's) higher than the ratings of the polishing disks?

Did not find in manual the material used for the burrs, however, it states if one complies with the operating instructions, there is a life time warranty on the grinding mechanism. Hope this helps.

You can set the grinder to grind pretty course but there are mixed reviews about the quality of the grind on course setting. It would work but may have a grind that is not as uniformed as other grinders.

It has the capability with the course belt, but there are better options. A cheap angle grinder with a 100 grit wheel would be a better approach. If the work sharp us all you have it will do it.

the rollers are 1.5 inches x 6 inch long. The shaft that attaches to drill is 3/8 inch. The "pins" on the roller that actually do the grabbing and grinding of the grain are a little less than 1/32 inch. This machine is a monster, it will process about 7 lbs a min, the way i have it set up. It produces a crushed grain that doesnt need a second run thru. and the best part of this mill is that it is totally adjustable to any size of crush you would need. If you need anything else answered, holla back and i will try to answer any question you might have.

I would not think so. It fits a standard 5/8 inch arbor and is made specifically for a grinder. Additionally I am not sure if you would have proper control with a drill as well as enough speed to make it function decently. A drill, even at top speed, is only a few hundred RPM while this is design to work at 8000RPM or greater.

Hi, Mudita, I don't have the grinder with me right now, for I bought it for my mom. I think it's about 7" x 4" in size. Hope my answer is helpful.

i had to take the guards off my 8 inch bench grinder. i believe they are 10 inches in diameter. i wasn't a big fan of them. it took too much work, maybe i didn't give it enough of a chance.

I don't know but how much would you pay me for my entire machine??? Mine did not grind small enough for me and no longer want it! Are you interested?

The arbor is a standard 7/8" inch ring. That is a standard size that is the same for 5" and 7" grinders. You will find discs anywhere there are discs. you can flip the retaining washer over for flat zip cut wheels as well, although I would probably buy depressed center zip cut wheels instead as they are stronger. The threaded shaft is a 5/8 thread if you need to screw anything on to it.

1/4". I had to grind the shaft down on the one I needed to go into small hole
