Meat Grinder: Kitchener (Northern Tool) vs Cabelas or LEM

[airmec]

Cabelas Carnivore grinders are Weston with a few extras, when was in restaurant work I used grinders from a Kitchen aid to a Hobart floor grinder that would take 10lb hunks and all I can say is get the largest you can afford for what you will do. Myself I got a #22 Weston Pro and have no regrets it seems to be better built then the Lem and customer service was excellent complained about a blemish on the auger which had no effect on how it worked or lasts wasn't even in a food area and received a new auger three day's latter.
