Using the kidney plate without the blade
I have a question about using the kidney plate without the blade, when I tried that before
the auger would wabble and the square end of the auger got damaged which I filed so I`m still ok. what am I doing wrong ? I have a #12 uniworld grinder.
I really enjoy this forum I read it everyday. 1st time posting
Thanks Paul

Paul-
Mine is the same way, it can't be used without the blade without damaging the feedscrew. I tried to use it as a stuffer with just the kidney plate years back and also found out the hard way, Allied Kenco has replacement studs. http://www.alliedkenco.com/feedscrewstuds.aspx

Paul, Laftpig,
There is a simple solution to your wobble issue....simply make a spacer the same thickness as the blade, install when using kidney place, and problem solved!
Stack washers together, or get a shaft spacer from your local hardware store, etc.
Not a difficult problem to solve!
Best of luck!

Good point. A caution has been added to recipe. But it's not my recipe or method. Also some grinders work fine without the blade. I never damaged my grinder, it simply would not work correctly without a blade. So damage to someone's equipment never occurred to me, I probably should have worded my post "potentially damaging the feedscrew".

Jason it's actually more difficult than you may think, and what you mentioned does not work with my grinder, Easier solution was buy a stuffer!! Other than using the grinder to stuff with I have no reason to use it without a blade.harleykids wrote:Stack washers together, or get a shaft spacer from your local hardware store, etc.
