#12 Knife does not fit my grinder
-
BrianB I just bought the #32 butcher series and bought Everlast knifes so each plate could marry. However the Everlast knife is to thick and doesn’t let plate engage the notch. Weston knife allows it to sit deeper but not much better. I’m still waiting for a solution or some direction from customer service.

iowa arborist I use the exact same setup, an everlast knife and a weston plate and I have no problems at all. What Weston grinder do you have?

Here’s my #22 with everlasting knife and regular plate

Jonathon I have the #32 butcher series. It’s seated fully into the bushing at the rear also. Tho there does seem to be a bit of slop in the bushing.
-
Jonathon I took a measurement of the weston and everlasting knife and there appears to be about a 2.5mm difference in thickness. You think I could surface grind the back of knife or just sharpen the blades down aways as a solution? I realize that would kinda defeat the purpose of purchasing knives you can sharpen but unsure how to solve this.

Jonathon I mailed it back yesterday. You should try to catch it and see if there are any discrepancies from other #12’s. It would be nice to see if there is a consistency issue and nail it down so there’s do not lose money sending it back. If you need any numbers I can mic my auger. I sent it back attn: RMA 3740 if that helps.

iowa arborist that is a big difference.
BrianB I think so as well. I’m kinda waiting to hear back on how I should proceed
-
BrianB I will ask that it be brought to me when it comes in.

BrianB iowa arborist This arrived yesterday and I had the time to do some checking this morning and it does NOT work with a Weston #12 Butcher or Pro Series Grinder. I have updated the website to include that information and am very sorry, the #22 everlasting knife works perfectly with the #22 Pro Series Grinder, so I have no clue why this would be different with a #12.
I also tried a few other knives to make sure that it wasn’t just this particular one and it is all of them that have a problem.

Jonathon I have the butcher series #32 so do they just not fit any of the butcher series then? Mine goes on fine its just to thick to let the plate fit correctly

iowa arborist I just checked against a #32 butcher series grinder and it DOESN’T work. I dont have a #32 pro to compare it to but I can say it absolutely works on the #22 Pro Series.
-
iowa arborist and I am now questioning this. I might be using the Value Hard Grinder. I am going to do some testing and I will update
-
iowa arborist and anyone else, I was right the #22 pro works with the everlast and the Value Hard Knife.
