Nice! I think you get a sausage stuffer attachment for the mincer which would work.

Scared shitless about bandsaws and fingers!

^This. Cold meat makes cold dumb fingers makes counting past 10 a bear unless you're barefoot 😉

Guy that ran my local butcher years ago was a few digit segments light and he said it happened late one evening while pushing through a really big order.

I love the idea of being able to manage the entire process from bullet casting to wors braaing. Good on you for making that a real thing.

You may find it hard to believe, I do not go near where the saws are being used, I even leave shops where I can hear these saws. If I stand an watch one being used, I start heaving, I wanna puke.
BUT BUT BUT, this saw has not got that sound, I think it runs at a slower RPM

I how ever am going to battle, it still scares me terribly even with out that sound, and after what you saw I went to bed, it really is a fight to use it, I have a phobia I will have to beat.
I will build a blade cover to block unused blade area ------------ it scares me horribly - I do not know how one can use one for a living.
I wheelie motor bikes well in exess of 200 km/h with no comparable fear.

I have been advised to buy a free standing sausage stuffer.

I have been advised to buy a free standing sausage stuffer.

A mate of mine who makes his own Kraut style sausages and boerewors reckons the good quality hand cranked ones are the ticket. They have a big wide cylinder and apparently that makes the flow of meat really consistent and controllable when the handle is cranked.

Some stuffers have two gears. They make it a lot easier and faster. For some reason, I prefer a horisontal, backloading stuffer to a vertical, toploading one. 

"Oh Fok !" here it comes again, choices and options, confusion and hesitation.

Please ask your friend if u may forward his number - I would just like to get a verbal walk through on his Kraut sausage. Please.

That what was what I was advised and I have a separate stuffer and mincer. I have never tried the sausage attachments but a mate used to have a small butcher and made bulk wors using electric stuffer as it was significantly quicker.

Agreed on preferring a horizontal stuffer - more counter top space but it seems to flow better than a vertical unit I tried.

Reminds me of my first driving lesson. Driving a kombi to the doctor with my dad's hand wrapped in a towel. The saw went through the soft tissue between the thumb and forefinger to the bone. Thankfully no real damage was done.

I am much into how something feels, and the horizontal feels right in my brain while the vertical seems more "right" for liquids, strange how the mind works.

Niiiiiice !!! Guys guys, you have to bring this up ?  :-X  - already half sick with foreboding, scared of this thing much.
One blessing, is that my saw does not make the meowing screech when cutting, I would not have bought it if it made that sound. Never no nay never !!!

I'll ask but I wouldn't suggest holding your breath. He's a grumpy old git.

So we made our first sausage, it was a bit on the less spicy side, actually perfect for me. but wife wants more hide the meat additives.

My son and I really had a very good moment in time doing this.
