Northern Tool's Plates

[smokeguy]

Right after I had gotten my grinder/stuffer from Northern Tool I got a chance to go by a Bass Pro Shops on a trip. Well, I knew I wanted a stuffing plate after hearing comments here about how they helped out if you were going to use a grinder as a stuffer too, but since I didn't know what size it was (all I had done was take it out of the box to make sure the parts were there so far) so I just guessed and got the 5# LEM brand. It's too small in diameter. It was 2" and mine now that I've checked is 3".

I also picked up a pack of 17mm snack stick casings while I was there thinking Slim Jims (YUM!) but come to find out that the grinder didn't come with a 3/8" stuffing tube. Batting 1000 now on impulse buys!

I'm sure whenever I get back to BPS I can match things up, but I was wondering if anyone knows which LEM plates would fit mine so I can just order them online. Are any of them 3"? Maybe the 10#?

If you bought an electric grinder for under $100, its probabaly a #12.

[smokeguy]

Yeah, it was the one normally around $100 but was 15% off or something like that.

This one?

Whew! You've saved me from another round of getting the wrong things!

Yes, that's the one I have and I see that the plates show as 2 3/4", not 3". I went back and checked mine and yep, it's 2 3/4".

So, now I'm looking for these size attachments

Added: Toski just told me on another site that "A no. 10 is 2 3/4" a no.22 is 3 1/4" and a 32 is 3 15/16". "

Sound right?

Here is a chart I have of plate size and diameter..






You can print this off, It is to scale.

Also I added this page to the main site last weekend..

I still have a little more information to add

[smokeguy]

Thanks for the chart, and the sausage page you added is mighty fine too!

Added: Found both things I needed here. Thanks for the help! https://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/s...OrderCalculate

Beer-B-Q got me in touch with this link at sausagesource.com http://www.sausagesource.com/catalog/prk-hrnkit12.html as I was digging out my BPS credit card. I got them here instead as a kit for $15.94 including shipping vs. at BPS it would have been $19.98 before shipping.

Love to save money!
