I started with my KA 6qt and it grinds pretty well but became quickly dissatisfied with the stuffing portion. I ended up breaking a gear on my KA when a bone shard went through the grinder so I ended up buying a 3/4hp grinder and 5lb stuffer from Norther Tool. Works so much better and faster, but the KA is a good start.
