Homemade Sausage

That was my thinking too, and that is why I bought that commercial grinder that I linked to in my previous post above.

Here is the manufacturer's web site. American Eagle Food Machinery

Here is the PDF spec sheet for the AE-G12N

It came with two plates and one knife, the stainless meat tray, and the plastic stomper. I bought another four plate sizes and a knife for each.

It's heavy duty.

Then again, you could always build one like this:

In the last 25 years, this machine has seen several tons of meat pass through its mechanism! It cost $160.00 to build in 1976.

It doesn't sound difficult at all. I have a Porkert #32 that I might do this to eventually.

Whoa. This is really tempting! You can buy manual grinders for a song and dance these days!

I was at a used tool place the other day, I would bet you they had 10 hand grinders on hand. I don't think I would want to anything I would eat through most of them...

a great idea

Great Idea , Sir

That is exactly what I was thinking as I read through this posting. I have a manual grinder that is all metal and I have several motors lying around. Seems all I would need is a couple pulleys and a belt, screw it all down on a mounting board and away we go!
