elcamino/wheelhorse 9,299 #4 Posted March 1, 2023 I used one made by Hobart for 4 years as I put myself thru college. Cleaning the slicer would nick my finger if I wasn't careful. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bc.gold 3,403 #9 Posted March 1, 2023 (edited) From the butcher shop this afternoon, pig fat to render into lard and hopefully some cracklings. Also a a lot more beef fat to render. Edited March 1, 2023 by bc.gold 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bc.gold 3,403 #10 Posted March 5, 2023 (edited) The linear slide that sets the thickness of the cut was seized, using the Milwaukee to vibrate oil into the slide. I usually use my pneumatic chisel for operations like this. The slide is now free to move. The engineer who designed the American model 52 slicer was a genius. Noticed on other sites folks looking for a replacement belt, should they come across this thread have posted an image of the belt with the part number which I'm sure could easily crossed over. The nut that holds the blade is right hand thread and uses a 1" socket to remove. Edited March 5, 2023 by bc.gold Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bc.gold 3,403 #11 Posted March 5, 2023 (edited) Bought this #22 meat grinder yesterday from a neighbour. Ground up 75 pounds of beef fat in less than half an hour for the rendering pot. Also tossed in a freebie, a #32 grinder. Edited March 5, 2023 by bc.gold Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bc.gold 3,403 #12 Posted March 5, 2023 (edited) There is no belt adjustment, placed a paper washer behind the blade nut to prevent is from locking up. Using a 1" spanner forced the belt of the large pulley. Edited March 5, 2023 by bc.gold Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bc.gold 3,403 #13 Posted March 5, 2023 Due to the possibility of arsenic used in the green paint as a pigment I have removed all of the old paint. The acutely toxic nature of Scheele's green as well as other arsenic-containing green pigments Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
