The Chop Rite #10 clamp-down meat grinder is the heavy-duty manual meat-processing tool for households grinding their own beef, pork, venison, or chicken. The tough Xylon non-stick coating protects the cast iron body from corrosion and is baked on at 350°F to prevent scratching and peeling — meaning the coating stays intact through years of use and cleaning rather than flaking into the meat.
Inside the grinder, a special ‘anti-friction’ washer between the feed auger and body prevents metal-to-metal wear that destroys cheap grinders within a season of regular use. The knife is heat-treated cast iron — sharper than mild-steel alternatives and far more durable through repeated grinding cycles. Comes with an all-purpose 3/16-inch plate for general grinding (additional plate sizes sold separately for finer or coarser grinds).
For hunters processing their own game, households buying meat in bulk and grinding to control fat content, homestead butchers, sausage makers, and anyone tired of grinders that bind, jam, or stop sharp after a year, this is the right purchase. Chop Rite has been the long-time American maker of manual meat-processing equipment — this Model 10 grinder is sized for serious home use rather than commercial volume. Lehman’s catalog selection.
