Cool, this is what I've been thinking about for primarily chicken carcasses for dog food. For anyone else, you need something larger than a #10 if you want to grind chicken/fowl bones. My only real change will be to insure the box frame is longer on the back so the motor is fully supported and can't tip backwards. Might never be a problem, but if one makes the front shorter you could be in for a surprise when you pull the grinder off for cleaning.
I’ve got one set up very similarly. We gave up on keying or set screwing and just drilled through the love joy and the grinder shaft and stuck roll pin through it. Meat has to be damn nese froze though. The tolerance on a hand crank grinder (in my experience) will not allow it to feed if the meat is thawed.
this is very good. i've alway found , diy with specific explanation like u do makes doing ut mysekf easier, good tutoring sir. do u think # 32 can grind hot peppers to a paste
Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed the video. I am not sure if peppers would go though this very well. I think the tunnel might be to big unless you had a lot of peppers. Might be worth a try.
Super cool - this is so close to my goal. I want to couple 12 V motor to a meat grinder, in the same manner. Can you suggest a 12 V motor for this application?
Thanks for watching the video!!! The motor is a dayton Gear reduction motor 1/4 hp with a 60rpm turn at the shaft. This speed turns a good amount for meat out pretty fast and is better then by hand.
Have u done a video for porkert poppy seed grinder? I want to make it electric and I think only way is a belt and pulley system because the grinder must be tight for fine grinding. Any ideas?
I have not Work on that style. Looks a bit smaller than the Grinder in this video. Maybe a small lower rpm motor and a pully would be the answer. Thanks for watching!!
Most of these parts were items I had around the shop. I bought the Motor at an estate sale pretty cheap. If you had to buy it all new I would say it could be up over $400
The connector is called a Lovejoy Connector www.amazon.com/Coupling-Coupler-Flexible-Lovejoy-Interchange/dp/B01N4OKAGS/ref=sr_1_12?keywords=lovejoy+coupler&qid=1637938616&qsid=138-3038045-8737935&sr=8-12&sres=B004QWZR2Y%2CB01MS7XU4P%2CB01MUB84NR%2CB07LFN6X3R%2CB01N34FS9P%2CB01N11G4VQ%2CB01MT9LE4G%2CB003HIX2IY%2CB07DSLWNHQ%2CB004QWZRQK%2CB01N4OKAGS%2CB07B8KSKY9%2CB01NCVY7D5%2CB01N34FTGX%2CB01N5PVI6Y%2CB003HIWQMW
The motor is a dayton Gear reduction motor 1lpl8 1/4 hp with a 60rpm turn at the shaft. The 1/4 hp is plenty of power for this grinder in my opinion. Thanks for watching
Hey Robert, Thank for watching. The motor is a dayton Gear reduction motor 1/4 hp with a 60rpm turn at the shaft. This speed turns a good amount for meat out pretty fast and is better then by hand.
good idea, but you took a $350 motor, put it on a $50 grinder, had a machine shop probably do $50-100 worth of work (most of us don't get a buddy discount), then bought $100-150 in supplies to make a $600 grinder? A lem #10 cost less and can do just a good of a job. I dig the ingenuity, but I don't see the practicality unless you have the motor just laying around.
You are exacty right Rodney. I dont do these videos to save the bank account. Also these videos are not intended for everybody to build.But more to give people Ideas and maybe the drive to be creative in their builds!!!! I built this because I got sick of store bought grinders blowing out the gears every other year and spending 2 to 300 on new ones. This grinder has done 8 venison grinds now and is still going strong. That is more then i can say for the $300 grinders I have had in the past that lasted 2 1/2 deer. Is it the best... Nope. Did I take pride in building it.....Yup!! So thank you for watching and your Break down. Keep up the Good work Soldier!!!!
Hey Sean, This unit has held up nice. With that being said I only use it for one or two deer a year. I have burned out other store bought units after one deer. The RPM on the shaft is around 26 rpm. Thanks for watching hope it was helpful!!!
@@sean7193 It was an estate sale find. 1lpl8 is a Dayton motor that is close (30rpm) . I have another that i was going to use for this project but i broke a Plastic gear in it. We have the same motor (1lpl8) on a homemade Beer keg fish scaler that has been scaling fish for years with no issue!!
If you bought all the parts new you could building this for around $3-$350 Dollars. If you are a maker and have a collection of odds and end parts laying around I am sure you could make it cheaper. I had this #32 Grinder for years and the motor I found at an Estate sale. Thanks for watching!!!!
Check out our Instagram Page for a few picture of the Grinder in progress. It works well pretty simple concept of just replacing the handle with a motor. Thanks for watching
