LEM Grinder Plates, Stainless #12

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.

WOW! ! WHAT A GREAT GRINDER
By Timothy E. in FL on 4/12/2016 Verified Buyer

What a great grinder! It pours meat out as fast as I can load it. We process about 15 deer and a few pigs a year. We ground 25 lbs in under 4 minutes the first day. What a time saver. It's is solid, no plastic, probably will outlast me.

Cat lovers? This is a great grinder for your real carnivore.
By Larry Munchrath. in TX on 4/12/2016 Verified Buyer

I make my own raw meat cat food for my Siberian cat business, and this grinder is the best I've ever used. I wish I had purchased one a bit stronger because it does not always grind the chicken necks completely and it clogs the tube keeping a lot of the meat inside the rotating screw. The good thing is that it is easy to clear and clean. I just take off the front, take out the small bony part of the neck that did not get ground up (most of them do, however), and then continue with the rest of the grinding. I am very happy with it. If it were not for me needing to add chicken necks to the recipe, it would probably work perfectly. It is totally worth the money and costs less than half a cat!

Great Value
By Brien W. in TX on 4/15/2016 Verified Buyer

Very heavy duty, it tears through venison and pork without slowing down. The Big-Bite feature really works, pulls meat in without pushing at all. It has a great warranty that probably won't be needed based on the apparent high quality. Great value.

My husband thinks I am T E R R I F I C!!!
By SweetTea on 3/12/2019 Verified Buyer

Oh, my word. Oh, my word! Oh, my WORD!!!

We cranked through 60 lbs of pork loin to make sausage in less than 20 minutes. We were slow opening the pork loin boxes and bags, then cutting the roast sections into strips or chunks. We, the humans, were slow. The machine is fast!

Before we got this machine we could only grind about 20-30 lbs per hour. Now, we spend more time packaging the sausage we made than it took to grind, season, and mix. My husband is so tickled that he thanked me several times during our first sausage making session. We had happy tears because this machine is so fast.

Pros:
FAST!
Doesn't bat an eye at fast feeding.
Consistent grind.
SIMPLE and FAST to clean.
MUCH QUIETER than I thought it would be.

Cons:
Maybe price, but I would pay for a new machine again should I lose this one. I expect this machine will be an inherited piece in our wills.
TOO FAST for two people to cut, grind, weigh, season, mix, and pack sausage. We decided if we make it a Sausage Party then this really is a PRO!

I am thrilled with my purchase, tickled my sweetheart is so appreciative, and enjoying the best sausage ever.

Decent meat grinder
By Anna Q. in TX on 4/13/2016 Verified Buyer

We are saving money with this meat grinder. The drawback is sausage stuffing has some issues with amount that comes out.

Love Love Love!
By Esmee La Fleur on 4/12/2016 Verified Buyer

I eat an all meat diet, and I eat my meat raw. I cannot stand the taste of preground beef from the supermarket. I bought this machine so I could grind my own at home from fresh fatty chuck roast. I have not been disappointed. I use it every single day and LOVE it.
