What's the difference between a #10 and a #12 grinder?

The #10 comes with a screw clamp to hold it on the table and the #12 come with 4 feet that are to be bolted down.

I read that on one site but it was a little unckear. So if it doesn't have a clamp, it's a 12, which is the same size as a 10....

So my 12 electric grinder, no clamp, no screw holes either, can use stuffing tubes for a 10 is what I'm seeing here.

The plates and knives are the same size.

Thanks Ross.

It's always interesting to see things like this. I wonder what the guy who made the first Model #10 manual grinder without a clamp, and called it a Model #12, would have to say about all this stuff today

The first #10 and # 12 grinders were made before they were building electric motors.

Yes indeed.

The obvious (smart*$$) answer: #2.
Sorry about that.

The first simple electric motor was built in 1820 by a Danish physicist ... shucks, Ross was just a boy at the time!

I recently up graded from a Chinese #10 grinder to a made in the USA Chop-rite grinder. The difference is substantial. The new handle is longer, that makes it easier to turn. The finish is far superior, makes it easier to clean. The augar is more symetrical , which makes for a more uniform feed.

Though I live in Asia and spend about 25% of my time in China, you do have to be very aware of the quality of equipment you purchase from China. It's a huge country with every level of manufacturing quality imaginable.

I'm leaving tomorrow for a month in China and will be visiting several meat processing facilities while I'm there. Not my primary reason for visiting, but I'm looking forward to the visits.
