I have a #12 grinder that looks almost identical to that one. The "2.6
HP" and "2000W" and "industrial" part are all BS, but the grinder works
great :-) The only concern I have about the one you bought is the
little tabs on the ends of the plates. I've never seen that before, and
I'm pretty sure it means the plates are a nonstandard size.

The plates pretty much last forever if they are any good, so it still
might not be a problem.
