This is not the first time,nor the last time we will be using a 1/2 reversible drill for a power source. In the process of grinding hamburger, the counter meat grinder gave up the ghost from stripped plastic gears. Now this was not a cheap Saturday night special meat grinder by no means.
My daughter had a old hand crank vacuum counter mounted grinder that the vacuum didn't hold. My son removed the handle and attached a 1/2 " reversible drill. I'll tell you, it worked for powering the grinder, did it so darned slick it out did the counter grinder when it was operating. Never seen one work so clean, other than the grinder in the supermarket. Ours pushed out hamburger without stopping to clean the cutters and the meat grinder plate, which we had to do with the counter top model every 5 minutes. I sure wished we could find a grinder with the power and speed the 1/2 inch reversible has in a new grinder,it's highly unlikely in a counter top grinder. Our counter top grinder was an OSTER and not a cheapy,had it for over 20 yrs, and never knew it had plastic gears and wondered why the didn't make the gears out of steel, other than built in obsolescence. Well anyway we don't have room in our kitchen for an industrial grinder on a stand lol.We are going to finish up the deer using our mickey mouse grinder,just don't tell OSHA. It takes 2 hands to hold the grinder and another person to feed the grinder and push the meat into it with the push stick, plus another person holding the cord to unplug it,in case of emergency. I would hate to process a moose thru this setup,but it works for us for now. Thought you might be interested in learning a new trick or get a chuckle from our ingenuity.
Regards,
LOU

Today's Featured Article - History of the Nuffield Tractor - by Anthony West. The Nuffield tractor story started in early 1945. The British government still reeling from the effects of the war on the economy, approached the Nuffield organization to see if they would design and build an "ALL NEW" British built wheeled tractor, suitable for both British and world farming. ...
