dough hook doesn't fit?

I just purchased this machine and the dough hook is different than the 6 qt. which I also have. So in regard to your question, I just tried attaching the hook to this new machine and encountered no difficulties.What exactly doesn't fit? I'm assuming you're lining up the groves so I'm a little confused.Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

I tried to do the same thing. Even though it is a semicircle like my other one, they were slightly different sizes. I able to make it fit but had to use a lot of pressure. You might want to try a local place so you can quickly return and try another if need be.

No, the bowl scraper will not work with the dough hook. There is no way to attach the scraper head to the hook. It works really well with the beaters and cookie paddles.

There are no hooks on mine. The diameter is 41/2 " Note - little things like seeds get stuck in the holes

I have the regular size donut pan, not the mini. I would though, put the batter in a bag and pipe it out.

If you have the traditional C hook that comes with a Kitchenaid mixer, it's about 1/2 inch shorter and 1/2 inch wider. They don't recommend using this unless it's one of the models listed, but mine's not listed and it works as long as I don't turn it on any faster than the speed marks 1 or 2. I have the Heavy Duty Professional Model K5SS

I just tried and was unable. The top hook is 1 & 1/8" wide at the widest point. Making a loop with a piece of rope, mentioned in another answer, would be a great idea though!

I have awooden rolling pin that has a diameter of 2 1/2 inches. The rings do fit. However, I had to be sure not to put too much dough on the board because If I did, the rings made marks in the dough as it flattened. I finally used them last week.

I want to second what R. Mercer said. You definitely want one of the longer rolling pins for these. The dough has to fit between the bands so if you have a short 12inch pin you'll be limited to rolling out a sheet of dough that's at best 11 inches wide and probably less. I use a 19 inch rolling pin and I still sometimes feel constrained by the bands.

Never tried to fit it in, it's too big for mine. I just hand wash & use foil when baking on it.

It does not say that it would. I found this web site http://www.everythingkitchens.com/kitchen-aid-dough-hook.html and that one does fit your mixer.

I have the same problem with mine. I thought it might have just been because I was using chilled dough. When I push down it does not catch the metal to push out the dough.

If you use the cookie paddles you should be fine. However, when using the bread dough hook, you will run into problems if you don't have enough flour in there.

I haven't used it for dough yet, however I think it is powerful enough for that purpose. I do not have dough hooks with mine.

I don't think so. I make the dough and make it fit. I haven't measured, but I don't think it's 14" across

Never used the spiral hook. I have used this type to make a ton of bread dough and it always works great.

Mine didn't come with a dough hook. Considering the low price I was not surprised. What I don't like is that almost the first time I used it I had trouble getting the container onto the base and a plastic part snapped off. Next time I think I will buy a higher end food processor.
