Heavy-Duty STX Megaforce 3000 Series Air Cooled Review
Polished Cast Aluminum Grinding Head
This grinder boasts of size 12 grinding head unlike size 5 or 8 that are found in most small grinders. The head has a long-lasting aluminum meat pan that features a hopper opening measuring 2 1/8 inches. The large pan opening enables bigger cuts of meat to be placed in the grinding plates, therefore reducing your meat processing and preparation time. The four parts of this grinding head (meat pan, head, front lock nut, and auger or snake) are made of 100% Polished Cast Aluminum and not an aluminum coat like some other grinders.
