Long stuffer tubes...

[indaswamp]

Where can I find them? I've seen some of you guys using them and would like to buy a set. I make big batches of sausage and a long tube would definitely come in handy! I've looked around online and have not found any.

Thanks in advance.

The ones I have are that long. I'm looking for tubes twice that length.

Don't know, Inda. But I'd like to tag along.
I just wish more suppliers would give the specs so I could see what fits what.

Find a local shop that can tig an extension on the ones you have maybe?

I made a few.... K&S metals has the brass tubing... It's very thin wall and pushes meat very easily... The tube on the right is "1/2" .. actually 17/32 OD and 1/2" ID... I use it for 21mm snack sticks.... I flared the end and added a brass washer... The washer is not needed... just slide the flared tube down one of your other tubes... The flare will seal close enough to push meat... Do a search on Amazon for Brass Tubing... all kinds of sizes... be sure to check wall thickness...
Check out the ADD ON flaring tool for $8.98.... that's a good deal if you need one.... If the flare is not symetrical, rotate the tube often during the flare... one more thing... you will have to anneal the tubing periodically during the flare to keep it from splitting.... it work hardens pretty easily....

Good to know, Dave.
I hadn't thought about my flaring tool and tubing cutter.
But then, I'm getting 4' of 19 mm on my stock stuffing tube.
My stock one that came with my KA Aftermarket grinder is 1/2" OD. And the larger one is 3/4" OD.
My 19 mm slides onto the 1/2" tube without extending it. So it can feed off of it's own accord.
My 32 mm looks like it will do the same on the 3/4" tube, but I haven't opened the sealed bag it is in yet.

If I'm going to make any gross errors, I'm hoping to make them in a smaller caliber.
Besides, I had 5 of the 19 mm. But only 2 of the 32 mm.

Holy Mackrel!
Wanna make a 60" long Stuffing tube?
15 mm x 1 mm wall x 60" long (5 feet)
And we have many other sizes....

Now there's an idea....I have a buddy that owns a boat fab, shop. Pretty sure he has a tig rig and a guy that can use it....
