LEM 1383 #32 Aluminum Hand Grinder

Not much to say about this grinder. The basic idea here is that, if you can't--or you just don't want to--take out a second mortgage on your home to buy a motorized #32 grinder, this is the only game in town. If you can maintain the required upper body strength and stamina to use this grinder, then save yourself the $700 a full-fledged butcher's #32 will cost you. I just bolted this grinder to a couple of pieces of cedar 4X4, with four stainless carriage bolts and wing nuts. This set-up works well.Good reasons to buy this grinder:* size #32, which makes grinding very fast (after basic set-up, I can grind about ten pounds in just a few minutes)* safer than motorized grinders* simplicity = durability* low-cost solution to processing more than a few pounds of meat at a time--MUCH LOWER COST* cleanup is simple (just remember to towel-dry the aluminum parts to keep them shiny; the knife and plates will rust if not kept dry after cleaning, maybe with a thin coat of oil)* functions just fine as a sausage stuffer with the addition of stuffing tubes and a stuffing plateJust remember that this thing requires quite a bit of strength and stamina for the first grind, so word to the wise. If you can hack it, then this little gem is the only way to go.

I am very happy with this purrchase.

. You really should change the description. Only be useful if you wanted to grind a hole beef It would. Grinding For And not user friendlyThe barrel on the product is too long

I feel it is great, easy to use, And easy to clean.I highly recommend this product

This grinder has a wide feed area , a sturdy crank handle /arm , and cleans up relatively easy . The only con - the blades are Very quick to rust , even during extended use . Should offer stainless blades instead .

This thing shocked me by how much meat it can grind. 20lbs in 5 minutes for two people taking turns. Price was right, well worth the money for either a backup or if you just like to do it the old fashioned way.

Well made

Mine came without the blade. I haven’t used it yet because it’s missing the star blade. I had to buy one and they range anywhere from $10 to $30. It was either a mistake or that’s what it’s supposed to come like, if it was a mistake from the maker or manufacturer I would be super thankful to have one sent to me even tho I had to fork out and buy another one already. I would leave a full star rating and mention it here to.
