lol ive got three of them already that would love the job!!

you could try northern tool and equipment, they do some food preperation stuff, grinders (manual and electric), plus most other tools needed in food prep. They also do a very comprehensive collection of all sorts of other tools too. Prices seem good, as the stuff isn't cheapo rubbish that falls apart first time you use it . I have no idea though, if the mincers/grinders will do what you want , but it is worth a look anyway. Here is the link :

Hope it is of use ....

Stephen, I've just had a look at your site, They are all such beautiful cats & kittens especially the Bengals - Want One! However do you manage to part with them? When I was younger we had a Ragdoll, she was beautiful & was exactly that a ragdoll she was so relaxed & floppy!!
Sorry not about a mincer but am sure you wont mind

Hi Stephen,
              Im a butcher and would suggest most basic mincers would be fine if you get a `kindey` plate for it, this is a plate that goes infront of the knife of mincer with no holes in, should be avalaible with most makes, mince though on this first to break up whatever you need nincing then put a finer plate on with holes and put though again it should run though fine.

Paul.

thanks donna thats very nice of you to say! we are actually in the process of building a new website (same URL) that will be online in a couple of months with an awful lot of changes! erm well we have a bad habit of keeping a cat from most of the litters we have! marble mable (clouded leopard) is the one we kept last time, people kept offering stupid amounts of money for her but we had already decided she was our new baby! and she loved the new puppy as well! another trick is to plan the litters so a new one is born just as another is about to go!

paulb - thanks for that, it was something i had concidered but am concerned about voiding the warranty as most say no to bones! i recieved an email from a company yesterday saying they could meet my requirements so ill post once they have gotten back to me!

Hi,, mincer looks good,, just a thought if your going use it alot dont waste money buying replacement blades and plates, you can rent them so you get them replaced every 6 months with new ones if you contact `atlantic saw services` works out much cheaper. Also see they have cut resistnt gloves on there, advoid at all costs!!!! They are not stab resistant so not really much good,, chain mail always best option, just word of warning.
Regards,
Paul.

[stephen]

thanks paul! i am a bit accident prone so i think gloves may be a good idea! its not for very heavy use maybe an hour or so once a week!
