Looking for a good meat grinder

Thanks for the pointers fellas. I got the all metal grinder for my Kitchen Aid. I am not disappointed. It went through my cuts just fine without issue. I had to bog it down on purpose but throwing large cuts with sinew and fat to see what it would take.  After grinding up my good cuts, I picked through my fat and sinew trimmings to see what could be salvaged. It ate through that just fine as well, although a touch slower. I'm a BIG fan.


JW, I didn't know about the knife to die match-up, I'll keep them straight. Thanks for the advide!

Good to know.  Glad it's working great.  I'm sure looking forward to trying mine.

I’m looking into a new grinder myself for next year. After some reading I’ve settled on getting a Lem bolt down grinder. A buddy here has one and loves it.he got the aluminum bodied one and has no issues with it grinding a deer in a few minutes. I specially if he does a quick honing in the blade before assembling. I’ve been using an old Universal 1food processor and it works fine and is easy to remove the blade to clean the gunk out. But it’s slow if doing more than one deer. It takes about 30 minutes of grinding for a deer. Just put on some music and grind away.


That’s awesome advice on the plate and blade. I’ll have to keep that in mind. When. I get my grinder I’ll probably etch a small arrow into the side to keep the direction straight

I have a 1hp grinder, big is good when you got elk or moose.
I also do as JW says. Was told that by a butcher years ago.
