Meat grinder

[Greg]

Wonder if a machine shop could rebuild the end of that. May be worth checking into for a 700 dollar piece of equipment.

Grind that end 3/8" square and replace it with the appropriate
Torx sized socket!

Anyone have a meat grinder they want to part with. Over 1hp.

 

My cabelas (Weston) #42 1 3/4 hp just bent the auger teeth. I called them and they no longer make it or produce parts. Searched internet for two weeks now. Nothing. Absolute BS. It’s maybe 5 yrs old. No parts?!? WTF. $750 for the thing. Good thing I live at the shore cause it’s now anchor weight.

 

Borrowed a buddies 3/4 hp. Not doing the job. 3 deer in the cooler waiting to be processed.

 

Thanks.

Yes, they stopped producing it and do not make the part.

Looks like it was only seated into the other end half way (that would be where it bent)
I'm surprised it won't still work the way it is if thats the case.

I thought so also. But It won’t go back in at all.

Go to a few restaurant supply stores they might have one laying around. Needed parts for mine went to Rudy's in Pt pleasant and they had a large bin full of grinder parts. Took about a half hour to look through the bin but found what I needed

It got jammed. The power of the grinder torqued the end and twisted the metal. The teeth now go straight and then halfway up turn 45 degrees.
It didn’t strip or chip them. If you didn’t know better , It looks like it was made that way. Couldn’t believe it did that.

Totally my fault. Was using the wrong plunger. Plastic and hollow one. It was in the tray and fell in. Sucked it all the way in before I could unplug it. Had to put the the housing in oven at 500 deg to melt the plastic and get auger out. Damage was already done. [emoji2359]

Thanks. The auger is made by Weston model #42 Part #696906. Been calling restaurant supply store all day.

Apparently Westin outsourced the parts to a company that was bought out and that’s why they don’t make it anymore or have parts.
