    Vintage General Model D Meat Grinder Gear Oil Question

    I ended up using this and I haven't had any issues: food grade synthetic gear oil, 460 viscosity. I paid about $20 for a quart. I also don't use my grinder heavily. I do a max of about 10 lbs of meat in a batch because I have a small smoker.

    Sausage Making Weekend.

    Can't beat the price on those pork shoulders, wow!   "I only stuck myself with the knife once and took a big slice out of my thumb but I survived." Way to literally put yourself into your product.  lol  (Glad you're ok.) All your sausages look great!  Love the sticks!

    Russian Sausage today

    Thanks all for the positive comments and the points! Got my new meat grinder plates today. Upped the plate from 6mm (1/4") to 12mm (1/2"). The vintage grinder blew through 5 lbs of meat in about 2 mins. with no clogging. Yeah! I think my medium plate was simply too small for the first grind. In...
