Overview
Built for hunters and home processors who want a manual option, this bolt-down grinder is designed to turn meat without electricity. It mounts to a heavy-duty board or work surface for steady use, and the wooden handle provides a comfortable grip while cranking. The cast iron body with tin plating, along with the stainless steel knife and 8mm grinding plate, gives you a straightforward setup for basic grinding tasks. Bolts and other hardware are not included, so installation requires separate mounting components.
