    Screrwed up my grinder now what??

    It's a lapped face on the cutter and a grinder would do more damage.  I'll take it with me to work, I have some stones there that I might try to fix it with or send it up to my dad to put in the lapping machine and try to save it.   Was hoping to take some sausage back home for christmas presents

    Nepas, thanks for the reply.  The air pockets where inside the stuffing tube from when I filled it.  Just looking for some tips so I can avoid that on the next batch cause I have a feeling that these won't be around very long when My roomates get intot them.
