For $150 you can make a real good grinder.... Here's what I did. At Cabelas you can buy the #32 Meat Grinder for 79.99, go to Home Depot and get a pulley, a belt and a small 1/3 hp or 1/2 hp motor and a 4 foot 2 X 12all for less than 35-40 bucks.... put it all together and you have yourself a very impressive grinder.
