Looks good, but doesn't hold up,

"I recently immigrated to the USA 4 years ago from the Ukraine. I have used meat grinders all my life and most of them didn't 'look' as nice and big as this one, but they sure worked better and for longer.
This could have been a very nice unit since it is made from stainless steel. But, my education and work experience is as a mechanical engineer and I have working closely with machinists in a large factory. The machining work on this unit is very poor Chinese quality. Ours worked fine for about 10 uses, but the rear bearing area is where the worst maching is. Finally, main screw shaft would not come out and after finally getting it out, we discovered that it had worn deep scoring in the brass bearing insert.
We are going to try the cast iron one here that another reviewer really liked and see if it is better than this one. This one needs some very improved quality control at the factory! Otherwise, it is a 'could have been'."
