Have you thought to get a motorized one. 4-5 pounds of meat is a lot to
grind. And my grinder suggests grinding using both disks, large first,
small second.

But if you want to buff up your arm muscles that looks like a fine choice.

Imho,

That one is too large for small batches like that. when I was young, we
would use a #10 grinder to make 20 to 30 pounds of sausage at a time.

Is there a #22 available? (I have an electric #12 that I bought from
Northern a few years ago that works great)

Nothing at all wrong with that one, but I would prefere electric.

Looks like possibly a bit large for 5 pounds at a time, but will get the job
done. Good price also.

I use the grinder attachment for the KA and do 15 to 20 pounds at a time for
sausage.

I remember my family back to my great grandmother also used the cranked meat
grinder to grind potatoes and onions for potato latkas. (Watch your
fingers!)

What are you going to fasten it to? You can't use it unless it's
securely fastened to something.

The ones that clamp onto the edge of a table or counter easily will
allow the ground meat to fall into a dish in front of the grinder -
NOT over the edge. I have my gramma's, and that's how it works.

Hay Cat, Sheldon knows a lot about the meat grinder, he is full of
really good information. He is the one who got me enthused about
grinding my own meat ...

Suck it up and ask him, he will help you.

Since it has holes drilledinto it to secure it to the table, are you
prepared to have screws drilled into your table?

Those clamp ones do at least cause (very little) damage

That particular style grinder is designed to be bolted directly to a
table/counter or bolted directly to a sturdy piece of lumber and then
the lumber clamped to a table/counter with a couple of heavy C clamps.

But that size grinder is much too large for home use, and would be too
difficult to crank without having others take turns, or convert it to
motorized (very dangerous), and it's very important to grind meat
expeditiously, to get the job done quickly before the meat and the
grinder become warm. And that particular size/type grinder would be
okay for someone with hundreds of pounds of meat to grind once a year
if it wasn't the poorest quality piece of made in china crap $40 could
buy... I wouldn't buy it for $4 (in fact I wouldn't have one for
free), it wouldn't even make a decent door stop. There's a lot more
to know about grinding meat than buying the biggest cheapest piece of
crap grinder.... the smallest lowest priced electric ginder is a
hundred times better than that cybercooz crap... even the teensy toys
r us kitchen aid attachment is better than that chinese hunk-a-junk.

Anyone wanting to buy a grinder you need to spend for something of
quality or you're not giving the concept a fair chance from the
start... a grinder costing less than the meat you grind says something
about those who would consider it, and not very nice.

If you put something between the clamp and the table ie cloth or paper, it
ought not not mess it up

I guess it depends on how posh your table is)

"32". That's the largest size you can readily buy plates and knives for.

"22" is smaller, but still pretty big.

"10" and "12" are smaller still and use interchangeable cutters. 10
clamps to the edge of the table and 12 bolts to it.

There are also #8 and #5 grinders. I would not get anything smaller
than an #8.

With how modern tables and countertops are made there is really no way
to secure a manual grinder without it causing damage... especially a
grinder of that size... that thingie is almost as large as an
automatic transmission. If you used your kitchen table someone with
an obeastie butt would need to sit on the table lest it move across
the room... and most styles of today's kitchen counters really have no
place to clamp anything. To use such a grinder one would need to
invest in a large heavy table just for that use.... mostly such a
grinder is used by hunters outdoors in cold weather, likely clamped to
a heavy work bench in a garage or tool shed... the meat stays cold
this time of year naturally, the hunters stay warm by slugging down
hootch and jerking each other off with their tales of prowess stalking
Bambie's mom with laser guided gun sights.

Don't be silly Shellie!! I have a very large and solid pine table, made to

Ok. Perhaps you could find a solid wee table to use with that grinder?

Of course it will - you will be screwing it down securely, and if you
remove it, there will be holes in the wood you fasten it to. Further,
if you screw it to a table top, then you'll need to make sure the
table won't move with heavy cranking action. If you have a permanent
wooden workbench suitable as a place to grind meat, go for it.
Otherwise, forget it.

I'm afraid that if you are choosing between this hand-cranked model
and an electric one, you should choose the electric one.

Oops, I thought you were asking about the heavy duty one you said you
liked that gets screwed down to a wooden surface. The ones that clamp
don't damage anything - they should come with a rubber gasket-type
thing that goes on the inside of the clamping mechanism to protect the
work surface.

Oh. I see. When you said you had a number 12, from the context of the
post I thought larger numbers meant smaller grinder. Looks like the #10 is
the smallest Northern Tools carries.

Do you have an electric? And if yours is manual does it clamp or screw or
just sit there? Is there no grinder that does not have to be attached to
something,
unless it is electric?

The counter and table are not posh, but they are early 60s, with little
Jetson stars in them and unfinished undersides. Very campy. I like
them. They don't look like they would hold up well to being clamped.

I need my entire kitchen gutted and redone, but it is not the time yet.

I want to keep from damaging what I have since I have to have it for
a while.
