Is the 7965001 supposed to come with 2 grinding plates? The description says yes but I only found one in the box.

There were two in mine. If you didn't unpack carefully you could miss them.

It looks like the 3160 takes the same plates. If it were me in your shoes, I'd buy it.

Sorry, don't know- I have several machines and just fix them myself, so the warranty was unimportant to me. After 2 months of use, approximately 150 hours combined use with diamond cupwheels and pads, the grinder bearings stopped working. I purchased new bearings and replaced them. The deck continues to work fine.

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.

My grinding unit is not marked. However, I believe this was manufactured in China. I threw the box away, so I can't be sure. I seriously doubt anyone in the US would manufacture and sell a unit like this for $60 out the door. You didn't ask, but I'll tell you I'm happy with it. Some of the silver (galvanized?) paint/plating will come off with use. I've probably ground up 100 lbs or so of deer meat so far with it. Keep your cutter and plate free of sinew, and it should do very well for you. I hooked mine up to a 1.5hp motor. Works great. Also, clean your bearings immediately after use and DRY THEM. I found out the hard way if you don't get them completely dry, they will rust. I had left them in the utensil holder on my dish rack to drip dry, and it didn't work out very well. I recommend drying the best you can (maybe low pressure from an air compressor?), and then lubricate with some kind of approved food-grade / edible lubricant to keep the bearings from rusting. I ended up putting my bearings in a rock tumbler with some media to get the rust off, and then they were fine. Good luck.

Yes, mine came with one for 3/8"-1/2", one for 5/8"-9/16" and one for 3/4". You may find that you use a different plate than you expect depending on the tongue location and floor manufacturer. HTH.

I don't know the answer to this but I have researched a less expensive alternative. You can buy 1 Pound of the grinding compound on ReelIn.com for $9. Then use your power drill to turn the blades and sharpen (see You Tube videos).

This particular model is a Semi-Automatic. So yes you would have to purchase a separate grinder with this machine.

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)

I assume the part is the plastic cover that one rotates to change the grind. Several companies sell various replacement parts (Google KitchenAid coffee grinder for a list) but none of the ones I checked sold this particular part. When mine needed a small part for the electric motor no one had the part and KitchenAid just told me to buy another grinder. I eventually did buy another but feel they should provide more support for such an expensive item.

The plate comes with it. It is a 2 piece system that mounts on the frame of the machine

From what I can see the extra fine grinding plate is the only difference between the two and not worth the $50.00 increase in price.

The model I received, Makita 9557PBX1 4-1/2-Inch grinder, is not variable speed. Nowhere on or included with the grinder indicates variable speed - only one speed, no load 10,000 rpm.

Yes, It comes with three interchangeable plates from course to med to fine grind. Remember that for every couple of clockwise grindings, you also must go counter-clockwise to ensure complete usage of the veggies or fruits you are putting thru.

on the box mine came in in the upper corner outside it has a number 4726. I cant find anything on the grinder itself indicating a model either. these worked for mine

Im not really sure, but I purchased the model suggested, About $ 80.00. Best to have a separate one for this anyway. Not easily disassembled. This item, and the grinder is the Best purchase I have made in a while. Works great!!
