Looking into grinding my own meat for hamburgers and such. Might be interested in making sausage too. Any recs on a good grinder. I have a kitchen aid mixer but the reviews for the grinder attachment are mixed with many people describing "metal shavings" in the meat. Any other options out there?

I don't have specifics on brands, but I would bet that you can buy a small commercial model either online or at a local equipment supply store for cheaper and much better quality than a new home use model. Making sausage is easy and the grinder will give you tons of options for grinding and stuffing...

I picked up this one earlier in the year: LEM Meat grinder.

i use it for ground meat, and making boudin and sausage. i've been very happy so far.

i, like you, considered the KitchenAid attachment. But, the reviews were so mixed that I decided to go with a standalone grinder.

I have one from cabelas. Think I got it on sale for about $70. I have run a few pork butts and a couple deer through it with no problems. Stuffed a few links of sausage too.
