Poor Instructions,
July 9, 2009
"The instructions for the assembly of the saw were horriblly inadequate. It basically consisted of a diagram. The bulk came pre-assembled which was a good thing or we would still be putting it together..."

save your money,

"I bought this saw three years ago and it is completely shot. Total waste of money. First thing to go was the on off switch (immediately). I used the bandsaw to slice venison steaks and spent three times as much time cleaning the unit as I did processing meat. Next thing to go was the shaft to the grinder and now the grinder head is worn out. Do yourself a favor and just buy a real grinder and handcut your steaks."

Meat processing made easy!,
January 14, 2008
By crystal99 from Cherokee Village, AR
"After using the all-in-one meat saw and grinder w/sausage stuffer, We will never try to process our wild or domestic meats by hand carving again. The all-in-one unit only took 1/10th the time and was a breeze for clean-up. We recommend that all large portions of meat be frozen before slicing. This makes the job faster and easier. The all-in-one unit also came in usefull at our family reunion. We used it to slice Bread Loaves, Watermelon and Cooked Meats.
WE JUST LOVE THE WAY THE "ALL-IN-ONE" UNIT WORKS !!!"

Quick cut,
November 7, 2007
By trackercb from Marshfield, WI
"Saw works great as long as the meat is partially frozen, but the grinder clogs up fast, had to clean often. The grinder did however do a nice job with the venison cuts, found that if the meat is still partially frozen it grinds smoother and with less clogging. Hard to clean all points of contact with the blade on lower wheel with out removing blade, and to change blade you must take off the drive belt, (a good safety feature, but a nuisance)."

Used & Liked,

By DeerHunter from Atoka, TN
"We bought this Saw & Grinder to Process our own Deer. Just finished using it to cut up Deer Quarters from the freezer and Fresh Deer. We also used the Grinder to grind the meat & Pork fat for Sausage. It worked great. We ended up with 40 lbs. of Sausage. The only problem I see is with the stuffing of the Sausage casings. After mixing the seasonings & Ground meat together, You need to run it back through the grinder. I took the blade off but had to use the disc and it did not leave the meat chunky enough. If it came with a Disc that was only meant to stabilize the auger it would be perfect."

Family butcher,

By hallybird from minnesota
"I bought this saw several years ago. I put it together in a hurrry and went to work cutting up several lambs. Broke the blade after jaming the sloppy table. Put it in the back of the shed for a year till I needed for a hog. Spent a hour aligning adjusting and just plain tinkering till everything worked right. Put on a professional butcher blade and tried it again with amazing results. It is not a professional saw , but for the home butcher it works great. Saws steaks easily and accurately, just a little slower than the pro one. The grinder works well just watch out for that blade. This last year I cut up a 1000# steer, 280# hog and a couple of lambs. To clean it I use a garden hose hooked to a water heater set at 140 degrees and the fat/mess just melts away."
