Big Guy wrote:get a grinder to grind meat, you can't get one too big I would suggest at least a #12 and 1/2 hp. as a minimum, then get a stuffer to stuff sausages. Although you can stuff through a grinder the results are seldom top notch. Save yourself a lot of frustration and get two machines IMHO
vagreys wrote:Stuffer tubes for grinders usually have a bell-shaped base, tapering down to the actual stuffing tube. So, the diameter of the stuffing tube is somewhat constrained by the size of the grinder barrel, since there has to be enough diameter for a flange around the edge of the tube, a useful taper, and the tube, itself. On grinders for use at home, about the largest diameter tube I've seen is 1-3/8" or 2" (but not 1-1/2") in stainless or aluminum. They are available for purchase separately, and are made to fit standard size grinders (so, there are tubes for #10/12, #22, #32, etc.). So, the brand and model of grinder are independent of finding large tubes for purchase, separately. In the US, you have a number of suppliers you can shop on-line, for the grinder you prefer, and the grinder stuffing tube that most closely fits your needs.
Good hunting!
