Will this be able to cut through and grind chicken bone?

This thing can grid almost anything you can get it to it. I have not ground chicken bones but it did grind some hard frozen beef. It is a work out.

Chicken bones - pfft. I once ground up a side of beef whole - hoof first!In fact, I leave the grinder on my garden fence, to keep the cows from getting in to my chard.

It didn't work very well so I returned it. I didn't try using it to cut or grind chicken bone.

I could not get it to grind chicken bones but my husband could do it. This unit needs good old fashioned muscles and patience...and I do not have either one of those qualities. If you're willing and able to put in the work, this is a great unit. It has everything you need for a reasonable price!

I have used it for years to grind chicken thighs with bones to make raw cat food. Does not work for bones larger than that though.

Yes, I've used it to cut through chicken back bones, but I have not tried cutting the drumstick/thigh bones.

No, the 2 blades slide off a bone that size. There is a notch near the pivot but I can never seem to use it. These shears do cut up the back of a chicken and around a thigh joint nicely.

I think unlikely, though I haven't tried it. The round metal "blade" is not sharp so I imagine bone would not get ground up. The meat gets pushed through the metal attachment and becomes minced. It's mainly for small jobs and bones would probably break the mechanism. Hope that helps.

I doubt if it would cut metal as it doesn't sheer it just chops. You would need a metal sheer for that.

It should be able to get through the bone just fine; but as the max cutting height of this saw is rated 4 5/8", you'd have to press the flesh down against the bone to squish the limb under the blade guide assembly and through the blade. It'd be too risky a cut for me to try given the rated cutting height of this saw. If you try it though, be sure to wear good safety goggles and might even need hearing protection if the limbs are still green.

This knife will cut through just about anything, except maybe bone. Keep it sharp with an Asian knife sharpener, and it will be your friend for many years.

i would not use the magnum if you are doing just chicken bones. it is very good if grinding the meat and bones together. But i wanted to give my cats chunks of meat in addition to the ground so i cleared the chicken bones on about 10 and proceeding to grind them. although it worked, the bones got stuck several times and when i went to take the grinder apart to clean, it would not budge. i had to use chop sticks to push the pieces of bones out (took quite some time) and then the grinder finally opened

Yes..it will...not uniformly but it will chop and if not careful, pulverize it.

They would cut chicken bones or turkey bones with ease. That is what we bought them for and use them for. Only problem we encountered is that in use, the handles get slippery, making them difficult to use. Adding some split vinyl tubing over the handles solved this problem.

Yes. I did the exact same thing with it by grinding a whole chicken. Make sure the knife is sharp of course.

I don't think it will work with chicken bones because the part that moves the meat to the blade is made of hard plastic.

I would imagine it could grind thawed non-stringey (not too many tendons) or boney meat, but I wouldn't throw a frozen block of ground beef inside ... that would certainly damage your blades.

It is strong and a good size for chopping chicken bones. Just keep the blade sharp and it will do the job.

I don't think it has the capabilities to grind things into powders. I am almost 100% certain it cannot. I primarily use it for my dogs food and it can barely grind chicken bones which it is supposed to be able to do.

I'm not sure what Katrina is talking about because this grinder works amazingly. Maybe she put it together incorrectly? Anyway, it will crush chicken bones with no problem. I've even done turkey bones although the turkey legs did cause the grinder to stop twice. But, turkey bones are bigger and harder than chicken bones. I actually made some youtube videos showing it grinding chicken, check it out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWARTDPfjy8
