If it is actually metal, a close inspection of the knife, plate, auger and housing should give clues on where it is coming from. Look at the friction points where surfaces make contact for signs of metal loss and wear. Don’t forget to check that back end of the auger where it enters the motor drive. There should be a plastic or brass bushing or washer there.
As mdseaside mentioned, you should be oiling the plate and knife with food grade oil. This is so when you start the grind they have some lubrication till the meat makes it through the auger and can act as a lubricant for the knife and auger.
Missing items what can be subed?

subbed? Ordered the liners, waltons turkey cure and cold phosephate the package arrived tonight but was opened at one end and the 8oz. Package of cold phosphate was not there. Sent a request to see if it can be overnighted on monday but wont know until monday,? Is there a substitute product I might find locally that would produce a similar moisture retention? Or a smoking schedule change i should make. Figure i have to have it injected and brining by Wednesday morning. Any help apprdciated

samspade Don’t worry about the phosphate. Just inject the turkey if you feel the need. Get it in the brine for 1 -2 days & keep ice cold. Make sure it is completely submerged. Do not try to smoke or brine too big of a turkey, but I have definitely pushed the limits on occasion, still with success. Make sure your turkey is completely thawed, but still ice cold. Sometimes I add some other flavors to my brine including Muscadine Wine.

Picked up two turkeys, I will probably smoke them between now and Christmas and share with friends. I used to take it into work before retiring.
