Foot Switch 110V

This foot switch can be used to turn your meat grinder (or other machines) on and off, allowing operator free use of hands. Especially useful when stuffing sausage. Ruggedly constructed for long life with full steel housing, nonskid base pad, and textured traction pad. Comes with 8' cord and 3 prong series-plug, prewired. Just plug it in and go (the plug on the end of the foot switch's cord is inserted into 110 volt wall receptacle, then the meat grinder plug is piggybacked into the footswitch plug. So no wiring is required). Switch is momentary type, meaning that power is supplied to meat grinder cord while pedal is held down and power is cut off when pedal is released. Rated 15 amps maximum. This switch has proven its durability with years of trouble-free service.

LEM Grinder Plates, Stainless #5

Stainless Steel Meat Grinder Plates (reversible).

Note: A knife and plate develop a mated wear pattern as they operate together (same as a piston in an engine cylinder sleeve), so it's important to always keep them together as a set. When you reverse the plate to start using the new side, you should use a new knife. Using an unmatched knife/plate set will cause bad performance, rapid wear and possibly breakage. So you will normally want to have two blades for every plate.

LEM #5 Big a Bite Grinder
By Willard H. in AZ on 4/14/2016 Verified Buyer

Outstanding commercial style grinder in a smaller footprint. It grinds fast, with precision. Had a grinder on my mixer, pitiful, used once and then bought this baby. Totally different experience. Made 20 lbs of sausage lickity split. Recommend you pick up Bruce Aidell's sausage book as well.

I bought this LEM grinder for my oldest son to grind up deer meat. He was very pleased with it, his exact words were, "Awesome!" Fast shipping and great products, I'd buy from PHG again!

Great product
By Jeanne E. in CA on 10/31/2017 Verified Buyer

My older dogs must have their dry food ground up. After destroying many choppers, Cuisinarts, etc., I sent Pleasant Hill the dog food and they ground up a sample. They tested the food and called me with the perfect grinder. Thank you Pleasant Hill Grain!

Time Saver
By Mary A. in NE on 3/20/2018 Verified Buyer

Used this for grinding meat at home, saved us about 6 hours over grinding by hand. The product worked great but more importantly, the customer service was above and beyond what a lot of businesses provide.

What a Grinder!
By Leonard P. in WA on 6/15/2019 Verified Buyer

I am almost reluctant to provide a review on a product that I just received. Anyhow the grinder arrived and it was very well packaged. So, of course, I had to try it right away. It was obvious that this grinder is very well constructed and is ideal for home use. My first grind was excellent and I am very satisfied so far with the quality. Additionally, the ordering process and the pre-purchase inquiry was very helpful. The packaged arrived on time as predicted and I have no complaints at all.
