i was just thinking if you replaced the normal toggle light switch with a dimmer switch you could change the speed. dont know if that would be helpful or not.
they call me the bloodhound cause i can track a wounded animal in the rain for 2 days when all it has is a splinter.. sniff sniff awooo

Thanks for dredging this one up guys!  I'm not sure how I missed it the first two times around.  :dunno:

I just ordered the grinder from Northern Tool $80 + $20 shipping.
I'll start looking for a motor now...
And some stuffing tubes that will fit the front end once it shows up to measure.

I am seriously thinking of buying the parts to do this before elk season.  3 of us have cow tags and my little $100 grinder almost died last year after doing 2 bulls.  Plus it took FOREVER to grind up all we had to do. How is your grinder working after a few years.  Have you had to replace anything but the motor?

It's still working great, I just finished grinding an elk up this weekend. Last week, some friends used it ground up (2) deer and another elk. The next item that will need to be replaced (probably next year) looks like the auger shaft. It is showing some wear on the tip that seats in the grinder plate but that is after a "LOT" of use. I haven't priced a new shaft yet but I may just get a whole new grinder for $79 just so I have all the spare parts.

Well, we built it and what a machine!  We filled our 3 Cow Tags and a Bonus Bull in the group. :IBCOOL: We had 4 elk hanging in the garage and are down to the last one.  We literally ripped through 40-50lbs of meat in 10min or less.  Absolutly amazing how fast it is.  I will try to post up pics later.  Thanks So much for this thread!!

WOW! might have to give that bad boy a try!

Great setup ... where did you get those pulleys ?  .. ... I think I might go for it . We have used for the smaller jobs like sausage etc. even 18V Dewalt  cordless drill with screw in the spindle into the grinder ... the only thing is you need to have 2 people for that ,but it works too.
I'm sure you could use el.drill too  if you made attachment for it and some kind of rheostat or used the slower turning right angle drills..... :tup:
Everyone thinks that I'm freak ,I don't look different do I ?

The large pulley comes with the grinder. I found the small one in my junk drawer in the garage. I think its the smallest one available for a 5/8" shaft.

Do they make a "Tweaker-size" grinder?  :chuckle:
If it was easy, everybody would be doing it.
