Meat grinder?

[dalewick]

I'm looking for a used old fashioned, hand cranked meat grinder to use for making trapping baits. Needs to be cheap. Thanks.

I've been looking for a good one, most that I have looked at were cheaply made with bad machining and poor castings.
Here is one that looks pretty good but expensive http://www.grizzly.com/outlet/Stainl...rinder-8/H6249

I have one that I picked up at a flea market several years ago, Bass Pro has them and they are identical to the older one I have. I picked up some parts for mine there.

Dalewick: Have you tried the antique shops? I have a friend who deals in antiques. I will see if he has any advice.

Have you found one?

They have a pretty good one for cheap at northern tool .com . I got one for my wife and she loves it

Looking to find a used one at the flea market or somewhere. With what I'm going to use it for you could never again use it on food for human consumption. LOL.

Got one. Thanks!

I just picked up a copy of a magazine: American Survival Guide. It had some interesting articles, which I found helpful. One of them focused on 10 hand-operated kitchen tools they recommend if the grid were to go down, and you had no power. A hand crank meat grinder made the list.

The others were: Pastry Cutter; Apple Corer; Potato Masher; Stainless Steel Colander; Manual Can Opener; Grill Toaster: Manual Egg Beater; Cheese Grater; and Percolator (for Coffee).

IMHO these were good recommendations.

Well I have the can opener, the steel colander, the coffee pot, and some of the others. what I need now is a manual grain grinder.
