Chuck I believe I have that same grinder, bought last year and so far no complaints!!!!!

Same here sir..this same grinder would go 100.00 easily from Cabelas..I've ground alot of sausage from out of it and it's still goes strong..

That's funny as I've had my insert in backwards too. The meat is always double grind anyway, once using the coarse insert and then a final using a finer holed insert. I use pork in some of mine and beef fat in some others as I like burgers medium rare and I don't want to use pork for cooking burgers med. rare, but I put my own spices in as I'm grinding. I use one of those S.S. grinders from Bass Pro that cost $99.00 a few years back and that thing can take it as fast as I can force it in there. No complaints on this end.

I am looking to buy the Chef's Mark Electric Meat Grinder QH394 and was wondering if it will grind the bones as well?

And why would you want to grind bones?

Welcome aboard, one hell of a first question!

I have no idea who will grind bones and for what??

I have a big anvil and I love it.. No worries about that silvery skin on it at all. When grinding wild game like deer or moose I always double grind it. On the first grinding I will throw a little fat in while I am grinding. Then I throw it altogether on my double grinding to get a better mix. This has worked great for me any time I grind.. I also will sometimes set some of the meat a side to grind up when the main batch is done. Then I will take the rest of it and grind it up with a few pieces of bacon to fry up.. That way I get something like a bacon burger to enjoy.. I do not care to freeze it with bacon in it..

Maybe we really don't want to know why he is grinding bones!

I think you are right on that one..

Maybe grinding bones for the garden or to add more calcium to his chicken feed. Just a guess.
