FAQ
Does the Hobart 4246 mixer grinder include knives and plates?
No. The grinding end is sized for #32 knives and plates, which are sold separately. Hobart’s #32 Stay-Sharp knife and plates are recommended; ask our team about sizes.
What is a meat grinder with mixer used for?
A mixer-grinder blends meat, fat and seasoning in the hopper and then grinds it in one pass. That gives a more even product for sausage, burger and specialty blends, with less handling.
What power does the Hobart 4246 need?
Hobart lists 208 V / 60 Hz / 3 phase, 16 A, with an 8 ft cord and NEMA L15-30P plug on a 30 A circuit. Our team can check your electrical service.
