#12 grinder knife question
Quick question everyone. Are all #12 grinder knifes the same size or a standard size regardless of who manufactures them? My grinder came with a Torrey #12 knife and the extra knife I bought from the company that sold me the grinder is a zico #12 knife? My grinder is a Torrey machine.

No, unfortunately I've found that they're not all universal.Blackriver wrote:Quick question everyone. Are all #12 grinder knifes the same size or a standard size regardless of who manufactures them?

Some manufacturers have different plate hole spacings and configurations as well as slightly different knife blade lengths.
Some knife blades are too short to completely cover the holes on the outside edge of the plate, leading to problems.
To a lesser extent, I've also run into plates where the center hole is not quite large enough to fit some grinders.
Godspeed!
