Okay, I get it. Tell me this: does it mess up the thing is it clamped to?

Not if it's clamped to your face.

This one looks smaller, but I cannot find any specs.

Since it has holes drilledinto it to secure it to the table, are you
prepared to have screws drilled into your table?

Those clamp ones do at least cause (very little) damage

Ohhh, I see. I had thought the free standing ones were somehow
weighted. So now I have to decide between a clamp-on or an electric.
Do you have one?

I do have a clamp on one but a long time ago I bought an electric one🙂

If you put something between the clamp and the table ie cloth or paper, it
ought not not mess it up🙂

I guess it depends on how posh your table is🙂)

Does this one actually say "52??"

That's your hip measurement.

Why not, most women do.... wait, maybe I can give you a few nips n'
tucks, let me get my gorilla glue.

From the photo, the handle seems too long. You'll be cranking it with
the handle over the edge of the counter while the ground meat drops
out in front of you onto...I guess a plate.

All the manual grinders I've seen are designed that way - to be
used over the edge of the counter. Even the ones that are taller
and clamp to the edge of a table/counter.

Squat body to help stability; and long handle for leverage.

The ones that clamp onto the edge of a table or counter easily will
allow the ground meat to fall into a dish in front of the grinder -
NOT over the edge. I have my gramma's, and that's how it works.

I really don't want one that clamps.

"32". That's the largest size you can readily buy plates and knives for.

"22" is smaller, but still pretty big.

"10" and "12" are smaller still and use interchangeable cutters. 10
clamps to the edge of the table and 12 bolts to it.

There are also #8 and #5 grinders. I would not get anything smaller
than an #8.

Duh, the number 10 is on the side. So it is the same size. The bigger the
number, the smaller the unit, eh?

Nothing at all wrong with that one, but I would prefere electric.

Just for ease of use?

With how modern tables and countertops are made there is really no way
to secure a manual grinder without it causing damage... especially a
grinder of that size... that thingie is almost as large as an
automatic transmission. If you used your kitchen table someone with
an obeastie butt would need to sit on the table lest it move across
the room... and most styles of today's kitchen counters really have no
place to clamp anything. To use such a grinder one would need to
invest in a large heavy table just for that use.... mostly such a
grinder is used by hunters outdoors in cold weather, likely clamped to
a heavy work bench in a garage or tool shed... the meat stays cold
this time of year naturally, the hunters stay warm by slugging down
hootch and jerking each other off with their tales of prowess stalking
Bambie's mom with laser guided gun sights.

Don't be silly Shellie!! I have a very large and solid pine table, made to
my specifiations, which can take anything clamped to it.

Wanna test it m'dear? How shall we clamp him girls?

Some input would be nice, from those of you who may be so inclined.

(Except you, Sheldon, you stupid old [censored]. And you Morrow, you flabby
old Queen.)

This one looks good:

http://tinyurl.com/29479d

What I want it for is grinding 4-5 lbs of beef max for burgers and
meatloaf,
at least for now. I'm sure I will find other uses for it after it
arrives.

Yes, I am also googling the group.

Hay Cat, Sheldon knows a lot about the meat grinder, he is full of
really good information. He is the one who got me enthused about
grinding my own meat ...

Suck it up and ask him, he will help you.

Thanks. I don't want to grind my own meat that bad though. lol

I will admit to coming across his pearls of meat grinding wisdom in the
Google archives, though.

Oh, let me see. How about, by whatever is prone to bleeding

Well, you get to choose🙂

The counter and table are not posh, but they are early 60s, with
little Jetson stars in them and unfinished undersides. 🙂 Very campy.
I like them. They don't look like they would hold up well to being
clamped.
I need my entire kitchen gutted and redone, but it is not the time
yet.
I want to keep from damaging what I have since I have to have it for
a while.

Ok. Perhaps you could find a solid wee table to use with that grinder?
