I tried the # 12 tubes on my grinder -- didn't work - grinder is too worn. Now I'm back to my old and true Enterprise Sausage Stuffer. It takes

Hi, I did not use them because they did not fit on my sausage stuffer. I given it to a friend and the reply was that they work perfectly fine on the stuffer. He does not use them on the grinder.

That is exactly why I bought this grinder. I wanted to grind my own spices. I would not get them any more ground then about the size of half a mustard seed. Then it stopped working.

I am having the same problem. I adjusted my grinder to a coarse setting but I still get the sludge.

You should be able to pop out the old grinder and push the new one in. But, our new one didn't fit as well--it got stuck and I couldn't take it out again to wash until at some point it expanded in the heat, and it came loose.

By buying another coffeemaker! I had a lot of different problems with it right off the bat so I returned it and went back to Krups, and I will never stray again! Sorry.

I love this grinder but unfortunately, I've never made sausage. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

I'm pretty sure my first (and last) order I selected 'ground' but ended up getting whole bean anyway. I may have misclicked something... or not. In the end I resorted to purchase an inexpensive bean grinder from Walmart.

Stainless Steel Hand Coffee Grinder gave me the indication that it was Stainless and it would Grind Coffee. Since stainless steel doesn't rust and my grinder didn't grind I would send it back. I did.

It would appear as if this will work as if you look at the item http://www.amazon.com/Grinder-Attachment-KitchenAid-Sausage-Stuffer/dp/B00FW0NANC/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1420731162&sr=8-11&keywords=chefs+choice+meat+grinder it is using this sausage stuffer.

I would suggest try 3 tubes and do it religiously and if it doesn't work don't buy it again :)

Had to send mine back. It would not grind after the first 15lbs of meat. I'm going with a hand crank

I found that how hard I tamped it down contributed more...tamp down too hard and the water can't get through. My espresso grind worked fine.

I would highly NOT recommend this grinder. I used it just a few times and it just quit. The power was on but it wouldn't work so I had to trash it. What a waste of money! I ended up buying a Hamilton Beach, a much cheaper model, and it is working great. It is also great at grinding spices. This just goes to show that if it costs more, that doesn't mean that it's better.

I returned the ones I ordered because they did not grind at all. Perhaps broken. Perhaps just not well made.

I never bought a grinder but was very meticulous in having the beans ground. Too fine and it became difficult to pull the lever, to coarse and the espresso was weak. Next time I will by my own grinder. Sorry not to be more helpful but it is a serious consideration.

I replaced this very grinder wirh a 2nd one and to mr GREAT disappointment, they changed it! It's awful and am niw going to purchase the Evico, which I've heard fabulous things about, including it's ability to grind spices and herbs into your fine powder. You can find and read about it on Amazon. Hope this helps. :-)
