should be a zinc washer at the back bearing surface, they wear out and everything else is dull Did not realize there was a thrust bearing on the #32 grinders, but you are correct. Found a schematic with Google and then found plastic, zinc, and steel options. Probably the exact right answer... Yep, have an Enterprise #32 that is hooked up to a 30-1 gearbox that has ground tons of meat, literally. Blade to plate clearance gets to tall and meat wads up in the grinder

Update. Can't speak for all #32 grinders. Only mine. Never had a washer for it, and I bought it new around 20 years ago. When it is all together, the plates stick out at least an eighth inch beyond the grinder body, with the auger tight against the back of the grinder body. Can't tighten the nut enough to push the plates even with the grinder body.
After lapping the knife and plates, I ran a 4 pound roast through it. Grinder worked perfectly. I never would have thought that the plates would be part of the problem. Thanks for all of the advice. Not only did I learn something, but I saved a few bucks, too. I'm going to do a quick lapping of knife and plates at the beginning of each grinding season. Al

Two folks sent me pictures of their grinders wondering where the bearing goes... looks like some got 'em, some don't.
Good to hear you got it running.
If you do not have practice lapping you need to remember the glass is wearing along with the plate so keep it moving and try to cover the whole surface of the glass as evenly as possible. Toss the glass regularly (after using both sides.)

Also,move in a figure eight,not just back and forth.
You might look around and see if anyone in your local sharpens clipper blades like are used for horses and such.They usually have a surface grinder that works well on grinder blades too

It would take longer to take the cutter to a sharpening service, forget about the return trip, than it would to just flatten it. It ain't rocket surgery...

I usually have several sets of clipper blades too. I am, but some guys are not to skillful at these kind of things.I was only throwing out some options

My big commercial grinder came with a bunch of plates and three knives... When they are sharp the machine just churns through the burger meat... It takes less than 10 minutes to pull it apart and touch up the cutter and the plate...
