Inexpensive grinder?

[TimberHunter]

I’ve been using the Amazon attachment that mounts to a kitchen aid. Works alright but slow.

I’m usually only butchers 1-2 deer and maybe an elk each year. Was thinking of the 5/8hp Weston counter top grinder for $80. Any other suggestions?

The problem I’ve had is with the small neck size, not the power.

Have to spend enough money to go from the #12 to #22 neck

I guess keep using the super slow Kitckenaid attachment if I don’t want to fork out the big bucks?

I had a hard time getting my wallet open, but I can tell u it was some of the best money I’ve spent.

I would steer clear of Weston home line, looks like it's made from Chinesium. Will certainly fail after a year.

Either save up for the Weston Pro line, or go for the Meat! or LEM in a #12 size to get your best entry level value. You already have the "inexpensive" option. Any of these would be a better value upgrade.

I believe OnX, BHA, and RMEF often have member discounts for Meat!, Weston or Walton's.

*Edit* - Walton's has a #12 on sale right now, which looks comparable as well

Yes. Yes. Yes.

I can be a cheap SOB sometimes.

Buying a good grinder was definitely a hard spend to swallow but good money spent.
