Hi cottage garden,

I have a Kenwood mincer, I wouldn't use it for bones as it would burn out the motor.

Kenwood will work, but do it slowly or it overheats.

My heavy duty mincer blew up. So anyone in Morbihan preferably, but Brittany in general, has a heavy duty mincer for sale please contact me. Thanks.

I have bought a Nr10 mincer from www.designasausage.com and it is fantastic for mincing everything. Their website is great and I can't wait to try the spice mixes.

Hello HM ,
if it is the electric motor that has gone wobbly , it could be the windings that actually make the motor. These can be re-wound !!! if the machine would be very costly to replace , it could work out cheaper to get it re wound than buy new ? Bearings can also be replaced if it is a bearing ? An example : someone I know got an old electric generator given him . The windings were burnt out !! as was the bearing on the spindle . A new alternator would have cost nearly £600 , rewinding and bearing cost £90 !!!!It worked perfectly . So electric motors are rarely beyond saving (except really cheap ones), and may work out cheaper to repair than replace ?
Worth looking into maybe?

cheers

Russ

Russ have shown your post to OH. Thanks for such good advice. Sadly the whole thing seized up then went on fire. It blew up and chucked out its innards. It was all very messy. The body is fine. If anyone wants that they are welcome. It needs a replacement motor. So for now its husband power on a manual mincer.
