99 bucks, anyone have one? Plus since it is a #12 (I was in the Northern tool store and had the box open) I noticed it looked like a standard grinding plate that could probably use other larger plate holes. Largest one was too small. I also can get 20 bucks off that price also. 79 plus tax. What do You Guys think? Thanks in advance. Fred

Hey Fred,
I have the same grinder, but branded for Gander Mountain. I like it; it's a good grinder. I recently purchased an additional 1/4" plate and knife.
My only concern is that it almost seems that there are too many washers on the back end of the screw. There is a nylon washer, a steel washer, and two SS washer shims, all held in place with a ring snap-spring. When assembled, there is barely enough contact between the plate and locating pin on the body; maybe 1/16".
I'm planning on using it again this morning and plan to remove all steel parts from the washer stack. It will be an interesting test.

Thanks everyone, got one more place I will check out that has used restaurant equipment. Some really good deals. Bought a commercial rebuilt 8 burner stove for our VFW at a great price. Saw a nice grinder sitting on the shelf a couple of years ago, will talk to the boys down there how often they come in. Here where I live there are thousands of restaurants coming and going. I will see. Much appreciated, will have one by the end of the week:)

I never knew there was a difference until I purchased some different plates and knives for a #12 1 HP electric grinder...the ones that I got were to thin to work properly without shimming the screw. The only retailer that I know of that tells you there is a difference in thickness is http://www.alliedkenco.com/398.aspx
Plates and knives that are too loose (not good contact) smear and tear what you are grinding.
