How to sharpen the blade on my acme juicer

Just the opposite. The only way I get by the vibration is with an old worn blade which
I sharpen with a drill using a small bit. Installed a new blade, once, and the juicer took
off on me. Even the pro's have trouble with the vibration issue. If trouble persists, try
a pulp ejecting type.

No overhaul. These juicers do not eject the pulp and are subject to vibration especially if you
install a new blade. I've had one for 21 years and get by using a worn blade which I sharpen
with an electric drill using a small bit.

You can buy it from Waring or Omega, same blade.
Or, just google Acme juicer parts. $20 to $30. Look
out though, found new blade increases vibration. You
can also sharpen old blade by slightly drilling into
each burr on the blade with a small drill bit. Been
using the same blade for several years.

I've had an Acme for 21 years and I don't care
what anyone tells you-they vibrate. After years
of trial and error I found mine vibrates less with
a worn blade that I sharpen with a drill. With
a new shredder blade you actually have to file
down the cutting burrs about one third and
adjust the blade to chute gap by unlocking
the adjusting screw on the center of the bottom,
turn it clockwise until blade contacts chute, and
back it off a half turn. Apparently with a slightly
duller blade, smaller gap, the produce goes through
more slowly and evenly. Also severe vibration will
cause the blade to jump up and chip the chute.

This is a good one because a worn blade
actually causes less vibration. You can
sharpen the blade using a drill. Use a drill
bit about the same width as the cutting burrs
and drill into the face of each one ever so
slightly, almost perpendicularly. Assemble
the juicer and unlock the adjust screw on
the center of the bottom. Turn it clockwise
until the blade contacts the chute, then back
it off a half turn. Don't forget to tighten the
lock nut. I've been using the same blade
for years.

Contact waring directly or just google juicer parts. Believe Omega
juicers share same blade and it's cheaper. If your handy you can
sharpen you old blade by drilling, at an angle, into the face of each
burr on the blade. Use a 1/16 or 5/64 bit and do it ever so slightly.

I've had one for 21 years and when I replaced the blade the same thing happened.
The blade is not supposed to be held firmly in place so it can slip intentionally to
minimize vibration. If you bought the juicer new, think back, and I believe you will
remember the vibration problem. I seems with a worn blade they vibrate less. The
motor is very durable and uses roller bearings like on a skate board. I went back
to the old blade, which I sharpen with a drill using a small bit.

CALL WARING, 800 492 7464, AND ORDER ONE.

BLADE IS AVAILABLE ON LINE. BELIEVE
YOU CAN USE EITHER ACME ($30) OR
OMEGA ($20)

There should be a lug nut in the center that loosens so you can take the blade, basket & outer basket out to clean.
