#22 grinder knife
-
This is the one that came with the grinder and as you can see it fits perfectly.
-
Ya, pretty obvious it doesn’t fit. To bad they are not taking care of it quicker.
-
mrobisr It looks from what I can tell of the photo that the problem is with the Everlast blade. It looks like the hub was cast backwards or something. Definitely does not fit, very likely defective. What are they saying? I hope you can get it worked out soon. I have never seen that happen before, but it sure does look like that from what I can tell.
-
Definitely does not match the #22 Everlast photo on the Walton’s site (may not be important). Makes me wonder if it missed the final cleanup process to smooth out the center hole
-
Just FYI I reached out to Mark to get some more info. I just tested 2 different #22s and a #32 and the Everlasting knives do fit. I am hoping that Mark got a knife that has a slight issue with the size of the center hole. Once we get him the good knife and if it works he can choose to update this. If it is the auger we will have to figure something else out.

bocephus bocephus a grinder blade can go on backwards or forward it really doesn’t matter until you grind the meat and considering this is my 4th grinder in the house and I have ground meat for living at the rate of 10,000lbs per shift i hope i have grinders figured out by now. The one that came with the grinder fits perfectly, so I have to assume it was poorly casted.
mrobisr Didn’t mean to offend you, I know the knife will fit either way. The picture of the Everlast looked like it was partially hollowed out and I thought that might have been the problem is all.
-
It looks from the pic like the knife looks like it should, the blades of the knife are aligned with the corners of the center holes on these knives, not on the flat sides. I am assuming he has a knife that has a problem and we will get a new one sent to him. Hopefully, this fixes it. mrobisr if you see this before you see my email I do have one more thought, it is unlikely but you never know, do you happen to have a micrometer? If so, can you measure the width of the hole and the width of the square part of the stud?

Jonathon Jon, I just received my #22 blade yesterday and it also does fit the Walton’s grinder. The auger shaft measures .51 and the hole of the blade is also .51. The standard blade which comes with the unit has a .53 opening. I sent a message to customer service last night regarding this.
-
@M-Saboe Thank you for doing that, I just went and measured the 2 #22 I have access to and they are all .514 inches. The only possible things I see now are bad knife, bad auger stud or they changed something on us. I am hoping it is not that last one.

Jonathon FYI, someone earlier mentioned putting the blade on backwards. The blade that comes with the #22 won’t fit on backwards either. The back side of the blade is much larger than the front. There must be a difference in the studs on the augers. I believe my grinder was one of the first shipment you received. I sure wanted to upgrade to the speco plates and knifes.
-
@M-Saboe Okay, then Im taking one out of the box and checking. Will update shortly.
-
Okay, I pulled a new one out and the Ever Last #22 Knife slid right on. So #22 and #32 will still work with an everlasting knife. The #32 you will still want to use a non speco plate though for thickness choices.

Jonathon Sounding more and more like a defective blade. You can tell these blades are cast and therefore must go through a final machining process which could account for the hole not being finished properly

bocephus I’m sorry if I came off as rude that wasn’t my intention at all, my apologies.

Jonathon unfortunately I’ve been on the road since Monday, visiting in-laws, so I can’t measure the knife. I did mail to you, so if it arrives Monday as usps says you can let us know what is wrong with it.

To let everyone know that Jonathon has reached out to me to fix the issue, so hopefully this problem will be solved vey soon.

mrobisr I would appreciate reading any feedback you receive after Jon reviews the everlasting knife you sent him. The one I received last week does not fit either. So any feedback will let me know if I need to only return the knife or both the knife and speco plate.

@m-saboeo it doesn’t fit? I am confused, I thought it did? So, you ordered a #22 everlasting knife https://www.waltonsinc.com/22-everlasting-knife and it is not fitting your #22 grinder? After rereading your message it makes more sense now that it did not fit. I was sort of wondering why you sent customer service a message if the knife fit. I guess I thought you were being extremely helpful or something? When did you buy your Walton’s #22 Grinder?
FYI I am in contact with mrobisr outside of this thread and we are sending him a new knife.
FYI I am leaving this thread open so I should see responses fairly quickly during the day.

OKay, I just lost this message cause I hit some combination that apparently closes tabs…the hate is strong with me today!
I went back and measured the one I have and it is .521, I measured multiple ones of what we have in stock and aside from a few of the ones we still had from a previous order (which are .52) they are now .51 MEANING, they will NOT fit on the Walton’s #22 Grinder. Since we have no control over Speco we will not be able to have them fit with the Waltons #22 Grinder any longer. I am taking off any reference to the speco knives working with the #22 and obviously we will refund anyone who purchased a speco knife for the #22 grinder. The good news is we do have #22 Value Hard Grinder knives now that are similarly built to the speco knives, they are not just the propellor style.
So, @M-Saboe and mrobisr We will refund the cost of those knives to you and send you a #22 Value Hard Grinder knives
@M-Saboe Can you email me at jonathon@waltonsinc.com with your order # or the email address you used to place the order?

Again great customer service. Thanks Jonathan
