My grinder is of a different brand, will this set still fit?

Yes, all sizes no 8 or 10/12 are the same size, regardless of brand.

What is the diameter of the stuffing tube?

The diameter of the side that connects to the grinder is 68 mm (size 8) and 74 mm (size 10), respectively.

How do you use stuffing tubes?

1. After grinding and mixing, remove the knife and plate from your meat grinder
2. Replace it with the stuffing tube
3. Screw the ring back on
4. If the tube is a bit loose, that’s fine
5. Grind some of the cold and well mixed meat through the grinder until it barely comes out of the tube
6. Pull a well-soaked casing all the way over the pipe
7. Turn the grinder slowly, while you press the meat with your hands or a stomper while at the same time ensuring that your casings fils out evenly
