It looks similar to a cabelas with that slide out drawer. It could be the same maker and maybe Bass Pro's spun off the cabelas contracts.

Looks good to me.

Get a foot pedal. Much easier. Looks like a good one.

My 3/4 HP grinder does a fantastic job on the first grind but the second, finer (1/8th) grind takes awhile even with the meat semi frozen. Always regretted not getting the 1.5 HP model.

I go as small as 3/16" first grind.1/8" is for wienies.I like 3/16" for a hamburger grind,1/4" for sausage and 3/8" for a chili grind.The only time I run meat through my grinder twice is when I make sausage.I do that just to mix the meat and spices better.The second time goes through a really large plate that has only four pie shaped holes.

You won't have to worry about cutting the meat up too small before running it through that grinder.Pork tenderloin size strips will feed perfectly.I would get a foot switch.I think I paid around $20 for the one I have.Keeps your hands free when starting and stopping the grinder.

Agreed.

Was making sausage last night with my 3/4 hp and used my LEM footswitch for the first time. That was a wise purchase.

I need a foot switch before this fall. What you guys using the harbor freight or springing for the LEM?

My wife sprung for the LEM for me. Can't compare it to others.

I got the Harbor Freight foot switch about ten years ago.Works great.

Glad you posted this. I did some research and found a 3/16 plate that should fit my Cabelas grinder on Amazon. Should speed things up alot.

Back to the top. Jud, what's the review? I need a new grinder. Momma says I can get one for Xmas!

Burly!

Got one from Cabela's years ago that looks like it. Nothing has stopped it so far.

I have a #42 from Cabelas. Its essentially a Weston but now discontinued. I dont see ever having an issue with it and have a spare of most parts that would wear out. It chews through a lot of meat in a hurry. Definitely get a gas pedal!!!

Jud you got that elk ground up yet? How'd it work?
Posted By: Judman Re: Meat grinders... - 12/06/20
Worked great man, she chews right through it, big throat, easy setup/take apart and easy to clean. Think they had 25% off sale over thanksgiving . Recommended.๐Ÿ‘

Thanks. Can't beat the lifetime warranty.
