My wife needed some ground fresh pork today to make wontons for soup so I used that for an excuse to try out the new grinder/ chopper. Although the grinder is the same size No.12 head as my old one, it now has about three times the horsepower driving it and seems to run at higher RPM.
I ran about 3 lbs of semifrozen pork through a 3/16 plate and was done in about a minute.
I set aside a 1 lb of the ground pork for my wife’s project and put the remaining 2 lbs in the bowl chopper with some water and a small amount of left over breakfast sausage season I had on hand.
I ran the chopper about 5 minutes, adding a small amount of additional water. It did a great job of emulsifying all the ingredients and would work equally well for bologna or fine ground wieners . I will have to do another test run to see what the maximum batch size will be. The two lbs of meat came nowhere close to the capacity of the bowl.

Interesting find
-
JoeB That is a good find & a good price too. I have been looking for something like that for ages, figuring I could get something more heavy duty & better quality for a lot less, & the cranking will help supply some always need exercise, like walking & climbing these building sites, right. However, they are usually priced up into the several hundreds if not thousands when I find them. That is a good find. Same would go for manual coffee grinders or spice grinders. I wish I could find something like that around here.

Those old manually operated pieces of equipment are mechanical marvels and works of art. -
JoeB That looks so neat, I love to see how things have evolved over the years.

JoeB Thanks, but my wife tells me I have enough hobbies.

That slicer would look cool on display in the man cave or the kitchen. I say go for it.
