<![CDATA[Weston tenderizer compatability]]>I already have a MEAT!#32 grinder and am looking to add a tenderizer. The Weston add on looks like it would be comparable but can anyone with the weston check the unit against the pictures here and advise?Screenshot_20210726-132512_Gallery.jpg Screenshot_20210726-132549_Gallery.jpg Screenshot_20210726-132610_Gallery.jpg Screenshot_20210726-132639_Gallery.jpg

Just put it together and it looks like a good fit. Now waiting for weston to get a replacement spline so I can have the cuber and jerky slicer ready to use without changing splines.
Pictures to follow once it’s all together.

The spline matches the spine of the grinder almost. Just a little loose but I dont believe the torque needed to run the tenderizer will damage the grinder. The problem is the head of the tenderizer is to large to go into the grinder. I maybe able to find a machinist to take 3mm off the tenderizer head and drill a small dimple for the grinder pin.

I am over thinking this I think. Considering looking at a new grinder coupler in case the wear does become an issue. I wonder if there would really be alot of wear considering the use would be residential use not commercial. It just the price for a grinder meat tenderizer is about half of the table mount hand tenderizer.
I really appreciate any response as someone may go in a direction I hadn’t thought about.

You have 21mm major diameter shaft and 16mm minor diameter shaft on your grinder. You subtract the two measurements and that is 5mm difference. You divide that by half and you get 2.5mm tooth engagement right now. If you use an 18mm shaft, you are losing 3mm of major diameter. That brings your 5mm down to 2mm. You divide that by half and you will only have 1mm of engagement with the 18mm shaft. 1mm is 1/32”, that aint much left.

3mm may not seem like much, but when you only have 5mm to start with it is a lot. I think you are going wear your female coupling from not enough tooth engagement. Just my opinion.

Does the grinder tenderizer have both jerky and cubbing blade or is the jerky blades an accessory. The only blades for jerky I have seen look like the hand crank model

The grinder is female. The tenderizer is male. I got mixed up and was thinking how much I would have to cur off to make the smaller spines fit the larger hole.
It’s the old " I’ve. Cut twice but it’s still to short’ thought process

so I’m not going to get a direct fit for the spine. I could modify the spine to increase the spine size from 18 to 21 to fit.
From my pictures does the rest of the unit look like they would mate up?

Is the spline diameter 18mm from valley to valley (shorter) or ridge to ridgeScreenshot_20210728-011411_Gallery.jpg

Does the weston grider model do both tenderizing and jerkey slicing. It looks like you can get accessory blades for the table top model but not the grinder attachment model? I guess this should probably go through customer serv. So let me know if it’s a bother.

I know that ours is a 6 spline but I don’t know if the hole around the grinder head will accept that. So, we would need to measure the hole or compartment that contains the 6 spline hookups diameter and the 6 splines hook up section.
