If I am just purchasing the stuffer here, will I need to buy a grinder separately?

If you intend to stuff sausage cases, you will need to either get your meat already ground (ground beef, ground pork, ground turkey or ground veal)to use in your recipes or you will need a grinder if you use whole cuts of meat. There are several good grinders available. Lem is a good one. Depending on the qty of meat you will be processing should determine the size, power and rate you will need. Grinders come in several sizes. Shop for best price as these can get expensive.

Yes, you will need to purchase a grinder or purchase ground meat at the supermarket.

Hello Rachel,Although there are 6 grinders in a case, you can buy a single one for $8.19 each.Thanks for your interest!

I'm pretty sure the answer to that is no. You probably need a file or grinder to do that.

The grinder did not come with it's own case. The drill has a case, the grinder is packed along side it in a cardboard box.

No - you will need to buy or make one. I cut a cake rack up to make one. It works great as it sits just 3/4 inch off the botttom of the roaster.

Yes. More so than any other grinder I've used in the past. The grinder performs well and this is not a big issue but you will most likely be cleaning up grinds that cling to the unit after you use it.

No. The grinder will quickly require a number of discs, arbors and wheels, so not having a case is a problem. I use a small tool bag to keep mine in order.

Did not use that. Was so disappointed in the poor design and function of the grinder and stuffing equipment we returned the kit.

The food grinder is an add-on purchase to the mixer. The sausage stuffer, 3 plastic parts (2 tubes and a retainer), is an add-on to the food grinder. I had to make 3 purchases: mixer with bowl, mixer paddles, and shield; food grinder attachment; and sausage stuffer attachment for the food grinder.

No, they are not. You might have a better chance finding stainless cutter assemblies for a No. 10 grinder and buying them separately. Good luck!!

No it does not have the grinder or milk container, you will HAVE TO PURCHASE A SEPERATE GRINDER

My understanding is, not at home. However, I have never had a grinder wear out in years of use with my previous two burr grinders. Capresso suggests that if the grinder hangs up on a stone in the beans, the entire grinder should be returned to them, apparently so that they can replace the grinder

Jayne, I've had my grinder over 3-4 years. The box says includes 3 grinding disks and 2 sausage nozzles. I would return it for another one - The Amazon return process has been absolutely painless in the past. Hope this helps. (Actually, one of the reasons I chose the Cuisinart over the Kitchenaid stand mixer was the warranty, plus, although the attachments cost more than the Kitchenaid, the disks and sausage nozzles were included in the price for the meat grinder attachment. I'm actually contemplating getting the blender attachment pretty soon, which got pretty good reviews, if I recall.

This model comes with everything except the coffee grinds. Make sure to use espresso grind as small coffee grinds will not work with this unit.

I think it is best left for buffing. It would be better to get a separate grinder.

no, but for me that was not a problem. i prefer to use one that is much more stout than ones that come with grinders.

Dude it's the best grinder on the market hands down. Don't question it. Just buy one and you'll see for yourself.
