dose it grind meat well

It doesn't actually grind, but it chops meat pretty well. Cut the meat into half-inch cubes, put it in the freezer for about 20 minutes, and pulse to the texture you want. We like it pretty coarse, but I've accidentally chopped it finer and it doesn't smush if the meat is cold/firm enough.

I would recommend pulsing meat in short segments....this seems to work for me

Sorry, we haven't used it to chop meat yet but my thinking is it would do the job.

No, it doesn't grind that fine. It's great for everyday home use, but really not for very fine type grinds.

You should not grind any beef bones in this grinder - or any other one because the bones are too hard.Chicken bones grind up great in this grinder. We have used it over and over, and it has not failed us yet.

This unit is pretty solid and powerful (it weighs 70 lbs and most of it is motor). Grinding 50lbs should not be a problem, the trick to any meat grinding is to make sure the meet fits in the tube....the bigger the feeder tube, the less cutting you need to do. If the meat is fatty like pork, then the meat needs to be chilled down pretty cold to prevent the fat from smearing. I usually put it in the freezer for about 20 minutes prior to grinding. The only real problem grinding is the smearing. If the fat smears, it is tough to grind almost anything.....but that is not specific to this model.

I've only used a few settings in the medium to coarse range and they've been fairly consistent. It does grind a little finer than my old Cuisinart when used on comparable settings.

I own this product and use it for grinding all of my meat, in addition you can adapt the meat grinder into a sausage stuffier. This thing grinds meat like a champ and it is easy to keep the cutting wheel sharpened. The sausage stuffer can be difficult to use but it does work once you get the hang of it.

This is not a professional meat grinder. If you wan't to use it very frequently i suggest a professional meatgrinder with metal gears. If you a are a user like me (once in a while ) this one works very well. (little loud for my opinion)

oh it grinds the whole legs and thighs with bones very well. when you first do it, put a little olive oil on the grinder to get it started. after that it is quick and easy. I use it for the legs and thighs with bones. it's been working great since I first got it

Yes, and it's a great buy. I raise hogs and sheep, and get a couple deer a year. This unit does a good job for the money, and the Big Bite auger really keeps the meat moving. The only trouble it has is when I have left too much sinew on the meat; then you have to stop and clear it out. However, that happened with our hand-crank grinder, so I imagine it will happen with any of them.

If you keep the meat cold almost frozen it works better. Don't force the meat too much and it will do a great job. I use mine to grind chuck roast and pork butt.

No, not really. Meat requires a very sharp blade and although the blades in the machine are sharp, they're not that sharp. It works great for making ground beef with the cutting mixing blade, but for those deli slices, you are better off with a machine made for the job. Just search Amazon for "deli slicer" or "meat slicer."

Yes,it will grind as fine as you want. If you have the tine and power it will liquefy.

Yes, it does a good job. I bought the grinder primarily for spices. I grind cumin and cardamon seeds regularly and always get the desired result.

I make a lot of Cajun Boudan sausage, using cooked pork loin. I have had no trouble grinding the pork loin. It works best if you don't over stuff the grinder. It took me a little while to get the hang of just how much hand pressure to use on the meat while turning the hand crank. It cut the meat very well and I was surprised at how well it did that. I have not used the stuffing attachment yet. Cleaning it is very easy.

Does a great job for grinding meat. Not sure about bones...will possibly dull the blades.

It has steel blades that stay sharp I use it both salt and pepper. You can adjust from fine to coarse grinding.
