Plates and Knives
Lubricate your plates and knives with white oil before your turn on your grinder. If you do not do this then you are going to cause friction and heat with your plate and knife and will end up with a mushy product. For a more complete list of tips for plates and knives check out this post on extending the life of your plates and knives Also, you should marry plates and knives, meaning if you have two different plates you should have two different knives and you only use them with each other.
Locking Ring
Do not use a wrench to tighten the locking nut on your grinder head! Some models of grinders come with a wrench that is specifically designed to loosen your grinders locking nut. They are NOT designed to tighten them down, you want to tighten it down with your hands or you are going to create too much pressure between the plate and knives which will lead to a host of problems!
Augers
Check your auger stud and replace if necessary. This the part of the Auger that the plate and knife sit on and they are replaceable in many models. A worn down stud is going to allow everything to start bouncing and will eventually ruin your auger which is a lot more expensive to replace than your stud.
Stuffing With a Grinder
If you are using your grinder to stuff product into a casing make sure you are using a star stuffing adapter! If you do not then your auger is going to ride on the bottom of the throat of your grinder and you will be lucky if you don’t ruin both your auger AND your head.
Run Time
Check your manufacturers operating time instructions and abide by them. Some grinders are not designed to be run for 20 minutes at a time, the motors are just not powerful enough and some of them have plastic gears. If you have to do 4 5 minute stretches that is a lot better then ending up with a blown motor! Grinders like the Weston Pro and Butcher Series.
Cleaning Your Grinder Parts
Also check the manufacturers operating manual for cleaning instructions, not all grinders are made the exact same way so some of them require different parts to be cleaned than others. Some have parts that are dishwasher safe and some don’t, my suggestion is to hand wash everything. We like using Neutra Sol General Cleaner but you can also use Dawn or other dish soaps on most parts, again check your manual.
If you miss something and some meat residue makes it’s way deep into the throat you are going to have a nasty surprise the next time you grind something! After you have cleaned everything I like to spray it with Sanitizing rinse as well. Cleaning it with soap gets the fat, meat and dirt off of it but sanitizing it will make sure anything living on it will be killed.
Getting a grinder head cleaning brush can make cleaning the throat of your grinder a lot easier on you. It can be hard to get anything down the throat the grooves and just running water down there is not going to work!

Great video! Thanks for the info on how to use the grinder and prevent wear and tear!
You are welcome Diana, glad you enjoyed!
Thank you, I have read its a good idea to put grinding parts in the freezer. Do you agree?
Wat type of oil should i use is it normal oil
Hey guys there's an error in the closed captioning. When y'all are talking at the end in place of meatgistics.com it reads "meet just dicks comm". I figured y'all might want to correct it. I don't think that will take your viewers where they want to go 😂.
That's hilarious!
can you use cutting board oil ? Would there be a difference between white oil and cutting board
Grrreat video & content. I thank thee, John for all you do...
No problem Jim! We are starting to shoot, edit and release more of the Meatgistics University 201,202 and 203s so there should be lots of good information coming out in the upcoming weeks.
Thank you sir,
Waiting for your response..
Great video. One question, my grinder has a sticker that says grease once a month, i thought this meant I should open it up and grease the motor somewhere, but seeing your video i think that it might be greasing the metal parts, correct?
Sir watching from the Philippines,.
My grinder abnormal sound(knocking),,..and the plate very hot..
I'd imagine that something isn't locked down properly? What plate are you use, what model is your grinder, and what are you grinding?
@@Waltonsinc I grinded meat fat which is not frozen..
..what we call that sir like a small pin (stud...or stod..).,because that one sir is worn..it is possible sir the stod is worn it will create an abnormal sound..!
Thank for your reply sir
