The Grinder,
November 18, 2008
By sskains
from Texas City, Texas
"I purchased this grinder over three Year ago and I yet to find anything to bog it down. My Father was a butcher for over 40 years and he too says this grinder is as powerful as the commersal style grinders that he worked with for years. I not only would recommend this product to my friends, I have several times so maybe they would leave mine alone. LOL"

Great Grinder,
August 19, 2008
By Groomerguy
from Idyllwild, CA
"Grinder works great for making raw diet for my dogs. It grinds meat and bone with little effort. I have been using it for two years now. On/Off switch is starting to give me a little trouble but I think I can fix that myself."

Too powerfull,
August 18, 2008
By Najeeb
from Lancaster, CA
"This machine is overpowered but very good if you can feed it fast enough. One could use a variety of plate sizes. When I bought it itcame with only one course size plate. I called and asked for fine size but got coarse size again."

The Meat Grinder,

By DogMom
from PA
"This is an excellent meat grinder that I've used for a number of years to prepare meat and organ meat meals for my dogs. The only negative thing about it is that the power button needs replaced periodically. Other than that, it's a great machine!"

Workhorse with a defect here or there,
October 29, 2007
By LoveMyRottweiler
from Long Beach, CA
"I bought this grinder about three years ago and use it mostly to grind chicken and things like beef heart to create a raw diet for my dog. The weld for the tray broke right off of the tube (poor spot weld or tack weld) so I had to send that out elsewhere to be fixed. The output tray wasbent when received but NTools replaced that. The grinder has been otherwise trouble free, although I recommended it to friends, they bought it, and had to have it replaced because it had a bad switch and some other problems. Northern Tools replaced it without an issue as far as I know.
This grinder is not going to eat/grind everything, certainly not pork neck bones, but does pretty well with lighter stuff like chicken. I'd say it fits the niche when the grinder attachments to a mixer are not enough and you don't need a full-on commercial grinder."

Meat grinder,
April 25, 2007
By michael1
from Lakewood, Colorado
"I make 300-400 lbs.of sausage a year and I can say that this unit will certainly do the job for grinding. It grinds meat faster than you can feed it, which brings us to its only downfall. If you want to stuff sausage, this unit produces the grind at such a fast rate that it clogs the stuffing tubes. Quite frustrating! As a stand alone grinder its super, but it dosen't stuff casings well at all. I think thats probably why this unit dosen't come with any stuffing attachments. Hope this helps!"

Great grinder,
December 27, 2006
By Poncho
from MS
"Great grinder, solid and strong. Out performs my last grinder which was almost twice the price, harder to clean and more cumbersom. The only way to improve on this product would be to include attachments for stuffing."

"Excellent machine for home use - it has industrial strength. Grounded venison as well as pork / beef in a flash. Wish it came with more choise of plates....like a 1/2. But other then that, great machine for the buck. A friend purchased a similar unit at a restaurant supply for $750.00....and can't return it...lol"
