Additional notes: 

  1. The ratings are for cosmetic condition only. All Clearance Store merchandise is guaranteed to function perfectly. 
  2. Items are offered under normal terms of sale: Please review policies before ordering. 
  3. Some clearance items ship in plain (but carefully boxed) packaging, rather than the manufacturer’s original carton. 
  4. Important: All clearance items may have been exposed to various allergenic foods. 

Bottom Line: If you’re a highly detail-oriented person, we recommend sticking to “R1.” But after a week’s use, the only real difference between one of these items and a brand new one will be the money you saved.

Foot Switch 110V

This foot switch can be used to turn your meat grinder (or other machines) on and off, allowing operator free use of hands. Especially useful when stuffing sausage. Ruggedly constructed for long life with full steel housing, nonskid base pad, and textured traction pad. Comes with 8' cord and 3 prong series-plug, prewired. Just plug it in and go (the plug on the end of the foot switch's cord is inserted into 110 volt wall receptacle, then the meat grinder plug is piggybacked into the footswitch plug. So no wiring is required). Switch is momentary type, meaning that power is supplied to meat grinder cord while pedal is held down and power is cut off when pedal is released. Rated 15 amps maximum.

LEM Grinder Plates, Stainless #8

Stainless Steel Meat Grinder Plates (reversible).

Note: A knife and plate develop a mated wear pattern as they operate together (same as a piston in an engine cylinder sleeve), so it's important to always keep them together as a set. When you reverse the plate to start using the new side, you should use a new knife. Using an unmatched knife/plate set will cause bad performance, rapid wear and possibly breakage. So you will normally want to have two blades for every plate.
