If you have a Kitchen-Aid mixer, get the attachment. I love mine.

Kitchener #12. Handles batches of up to 15lbs no problem (most I've ever done) and it's a decent small batch stuffer. I'm looking for a dedicated stuffer now, though.

Grif,
Look for an Italian pommodori machine with a grinder attachment. They come with stuffing attachments as well. I'll go look at mine and find a link

Best I can do right now. You will have to page up and down to see the grinders

I got a Deni 3500 on Amazon for about $95 and am more than pleased. The secret is to properly chill the meat before grinding.My actuary says I'm dead.

I've been looking at the same thing lately. I found a grinder set up with a ton of attachments from "Mercantile Station" http://mercantilestation2.com/#ecwid:category=1019056&mode=category&offset=0&sort=normal
The reviews are really good and the kit that comes with it for sausage (including stuffing tubes/beaner plates) is pretty compelling for the price tag.
From everything I've read - a proper stuffer is very important and for me I'm leaning toward just buying the stuffer and getting fresh ground pork from a butcher until I'm sure I will do enough charcuterie to justify the grinder.

LEM #12 here. Had a Hobart 4812 but it weighted approx 70#s and was a real bear to move onto and off of the counter. Very happy with the LEM.

My father in law has a giant commercial grinder. I'm tempted to bust it out and get it cleaned up for this hunting season. He also has a smoker that I can stand inside and not touch any of the walls from the middle.Be careful, man! I've got a beverage here.

@VI - you sure don't screw around when it comes to your gear.

This guy just plows right through it.__________________________________________Dripping Springs, Texas.Just west of Austintatious

I was looking at grinder options as well. I was concerned about the KA attachment because it was made of plastic. I've looked at Cabela's machines but don't know much about them. Does anyone have experience with them?

I'll only do small batches of 5 pounds or so of beef, and that's mostly top sirloin, round, maybe some chuck. The cutter blade does get wrapped up with connective tissue, but I've never had to stop and clear it out mid-batch. If I were into sausage making, I'd probably upgrade to something more heavy duty like VI's grinder. But for what I'm doing and given our kitchen is already packed to the gills with gear, it serves me well for the time being. It's easy to clean and I usually throw it in the dishwasher to sterilize after use, and it only cost about $50 (obviously not counting the cost of the mixer).

I use the Kitchenaide attachment for small batches and it does okay.
But my friend who does a lot more sausage got the Kitchener stuffer and he swears by that.
