Gander Mountain introduces new meat grinders.......

[diggingdogfarm]

A style similar to Cabela's grinders.

Gander seems to put their stuff on sale frequently, I'm interested to see what the sale price on these will be.

I bought their #12 guide series a month ago and it was junk.  Sent it back for a refund.  Motor made funny noise and the disk were weird sizes.  Would need to buy all new disks to get the correct sizes.

I also bought the cuber attachment ... junk as well.  I had a good Hobart cuber in Alaska and thought they were all the same design ... not the case at all.  The cubers that LEM, GM sell use a knife and simply cut the meat on both sides about 2/3 the way through.  A real cuber has pointed and curved wheels that puncture the meat then tear it and knit the two sides together.  That is what you see in the stores.

Interesting, I'm sure they'll be on sale for the holidays. I have an LEM #8 SS 1/3 hp and the plate sizes for it are 3/16" and 3/8", which work fine for us because we like the coarser grind.

Yeah, interesting, we'll see what the reviews look like.

Most grinders come with just the 3/16" and 3/8" plates anymore, even the manual grinders.

Any more info on these? The #12 3/4 hp are going on sale for $269.99 on black Friday...

 

[diggingdogfarm]

Well. one of the first 2 reviews certainly isn't very encouraging.

I see that now. I guess the search continues... I just noticed the Cabelas commercial grinders will be on sale black Friday but they were cheaper during the sale that just ended than they will be then... I'm having a hard time deciding what grinder to get. I don't want to buy one only to wish I would have gotten something else. Only wanna do it once lol...

Thats why i went with the Cabelas grinder. When i worked at Cabelas we sold grinders like crazy.

It's pretty much come down to that or one from LEM...

Was it a hand crank unit or did it run off a grinder or motor of some sort?

A Hobart cuber cost about $1,600 and I'll tell you for sure it had it's own motor ...
