I didn't want to hijack old sarge's grinder comparison thread so I started new as it appears we might be looking at different grinders.
I want to add a grinder that is capable of processing a deer or two a year and grinding pork for sausage making. I would estimate my sausage making would max out at around 20lbs per batch. I might not even cut up my own deer anymore so it could just be used for the pork to add for summer sausage or for my sausage making.
I've convinced myself to stick with metal gears over plastic and that a #12 would be good for me. I may or may not stuff sausage with it. It all depends on how that works compared to my stuffer. Also, I'd like to be able to purchase blades and plates for it as necessary. I don't want any bastardized proprietary stuff.
I think I found the old Kitchener model that seemed very popular here. It appears to be sold as a Sunmile SM-G50.
It can be found new on eBay for less.
The other that found is maybe the new version Kitchener:
On the higher end of my budget, maybe the LEM Mighty Bite #8. A bit smaller I know but perhaps big enough for my needs:
Your thoughts, opinions, and other suggestions are much appreciated.
