[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2933126, member: 5412"] For those that are getting mush, the blades being sharp is very important. The clearance between the blade and the sizing plate is critical. People will replace the knives, or sharpen them, and not replace the front plate resulting in a fit like this: [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/texastastes.com_i_GRIPL2.gif[/IMG] When you sharpen your blade/knife you have effectively made it thinner, so even if you get a new plate, you will still have clearance issues. Most grinders have shim washers included when purchased new. A lot of folks don' t know what those are for. They are used at the back of the auger where it enters the gear box to move the assembly forward to make correct contact between the plate and knife. My Cabella's Carnivore grinder came with 3 shims. Most grinders bought used will not have the shims unless somebody previously installed them. [/QUOTE]
