Did you check if the plates are stored inside where you attach the meat grinder to the stand mixer? The sausage nozzles and the plates were inside the meat pusher.

Did you look inside the plunger? Mine were in there along with the sausage making nozzles.

Jayne, I've had my grinder over 3-4 years. The box says includes 3 grinding disks and 2 sausage nozzles. I would return it for another one - The Amazon return process has been absolutely painless in the past. Hope this helps. (Actually, one of the reasons I chose the Cuisinart over the Kitchenaid stand mixer was the warranty, plus, although the attachments cost more than the Kitchenaid, the disks and sausage nozzles were included in the price for the meat grinder attachment. I'm actually contemplating getting the blender attachment pretty soon, which got pretty good reviews, if I recall.

If you are talking about the tool to push the meat down through the grinder it is included with it. It also has 3 sets of grinder heads.

There is a apparatus for stuffing the meat into the grinder. There are also attachments for stuffing sausage tubes, but we haven't even taken those out of the bag. We've been very happy with the grinder - easy to use and easy to clean.

I see you have been waiting a while for an answer. A stuffing plate is used in place of a cutting plate when you want to stuff sausage with this grinder. You can google it (you knew that). I'm not a fan of using grinders for stuffing sausage links, but that is just me. The grinder itself works fine. Plenty of power to grind up 25 lbs of meat & spices into sausage.

If you can find stainless blades the same size I would imagine yes. Here is what I found on this grinder. I'm very happy with it and it has treated me well. The Waring Pro MG855 comes with 1 cutting blade and 3 cutting plates. The Waring Pro MG855 is a size #8 grinder so the plates measure 2 1/2&#8243; in diameter. The 3 cutting plates, or grinder plates, come in fine, medium and coarse sizes. I can't find any information on the exact sizes of each grinder plates. However, Waring's manual does recommend different uses for each plate size. The fine plate is used for spreads, pates, baby food and hamburgers. The medium cutting plate is used to ground meat for soups or for making sausages. The coarse plate is used to ground meat for chili or to grind up vegetables. The body of the grinder is made from brushed stainless steel and is the only part the grinder that is stainless steel. The meat hopper, feeding tube and auger are all made of aluminum. The grinder plates, sausage making ring and cutting blades are made from carbon steel. The meat pusher and 2 sausage stuffers are made of plastic. The internal gears are also made of plastic.

I too had this problem. Even with the online PDF, I struggled a bit. There is a sequence of the assembly that is a little tricky. Regardless, I highly recommend this grinder.

The grinder comes with all you need to stuff sausage. The only other things you need are the casings and meat

I have not used my grinder for this kind of work. I do grind a lot of venison and have not had to clean it until I get my batch done, about 25 lbs. There are things that get wound around the blade, but that is going to happen with any grinder I do believe.

Mine came with a fine and a coarse cutting disc. We used the fine disc for grinding Angus beef and it worked perfectly. since I cut the pieces to easily fit the opening, no ramming was necessary and the results were great without having to grind things twice. Also ran some dried bread through for clean up and a tooth brush to clean the disc.

Mine were shipped together... This is ONE grinder - not a set. You have to order two if making a set. (In case you didn't know)

My husband and I have ground a few kinds of meats and no black residue. Maybe a problem with a seal.? I would send it back for another one. It really is a good grinder. I'm sure you took everything apart and cleaned well.

That is correct. At least the one I picked up had them. I believe it depends on the reseller. I know that some newer packages do not have them. Veggie, Griddle, Handle, Pizza Plate - all included in mine.

My grinder is in basemant with another things when I missed return time. I did have problem with grinding wheal. After every grinding was too loosen or fell of place.

Dunno if you got ripped off, or if they made a mistake in manufacturing the item. Mine came with all 5. You might try contacting Condor, if that is who made yours. Hope this helps.

No idea. I did search for some, seems the grinder unit it the easiest thing to find. I do know you can buy grinder plates that should be interchangeable, but not sure about the rest

From my understanding you will need the sausage attachment that I believe can be purchased on Amazon.This grinder is fast and powerful. I love it!
