How to sharpen a knife in a meat grinder for a beginner. The main thing is to understand the principle

I was surprised to learn that some do not understand how meat is cut in a meat grinder, and in case of a problem they try to sharpen a knife, and even wrong.

Beginners believe that only the knife cuts and forget about the grate, and it is there that the cut takes place, therefore the edges of the knife blades and grate should fit perfectly.

Recent case

The daughter-in-law brought a knife from the electric meat grinder with a complaint about poor work, and where the grate is, carry it too. The knife had each edge sharpened separately, and therefore, when he put it on the glass, he began to "swing" on two blades, only they participated in the cutting, and the grate itself was worked out, it also had to align.

Sharpening

Today I decided to look at my typewriter, and that's what I found. On one blade the adhesion to the grate was shifted to the center, it is good that at least there was no "swing".

For leveling, a flat surface was needed, I used 4 mm glass, and sandpaper numbered 100 and 320. I put the knife on the paper and began to sharpen, it turned out quickly, but I had to tinker with the grate. In the process, defects immediately appeared, which are now clearly visible.

After 20 minutes, I put everything in order, got an excellent fit of the edges of the knife and the grate. As you can see, nothing complicated, enough flat surface, sandpaper and a little patience.Do you sharpen your knives for a meat grinder yourself?
