If I was going to buy a new grinder, I'd buy an LEM dual grind.

https://www.lemproducts.com/category/dual-grind

That dual grind is interesting,  I don't typically use the kidney plate on the first grind.   I wonder if you could use a 1/4 inch then a 1/8 inch plate behind that? 

can you just use a single plate if you wanted to do a 1/4 inch grind - mix spices - then finish with a 1/8 grind?   I suppose you could put the kidney plate at the end just to take up the space. 


too many questions to endorse this yet!

I believe that's the way it comes set up.  1/4" plate first and finer plate second.  I don't know the answer to the second question. 

We always double grind.  Pushing once ground through is a lot more work than tossing cubes down the throat.

They sell it as an attachment, may be able to add it to other grinders.  The first plate is very big because there isn't a blade before it so the meat has to be able to be pushed through the holes to hit the blade.  Looks like it is a very coarse grind on the first, probably just enough to be able to run it through the final plate.

Amazon has them for $150, not having to grind twice would be great as others have stated the second grind can often be a PIA.
