Manual Cast Iron Meat Grinder, Gadgets

A butcher block or sturdy counter is all this heavy iron mill needs to get to work. WalterDrake has kept this style around because the clamp holds tight and the long crank turns without fuss. It takes fresh cuts of meat and runs them through by hand without motors or cords in the way.

Heavy cast iron body

Solid metal gives this old-style grinder the heft to stay planted on the counter while the handle turns. It handles tough stew meat, pork shoulder and trimmed venison without wobbling.

Screw clamp base

The built-in clamp fastens right over the edge of a kitchen table or worktop. Tighten the wing nut underneath, and the whole piece stays locked down until the work is done.

Smooth manual crank

A long iron handle provides plenty of leverage so turning meat through the cutting disc stays manageable. It works at your own pace without electrical cords crowding the prep area.

Simple disassembly

The internal auger and cutting pieces slip apart when the grinding is finished. Everything washes clean under warm water at the sink so the unit is ready for the next batch.
