Designed for small volume use. The MG0012 is a rugged performer, yet compact and portable. Driven by a 1/2 HP motor and a sturdy gear box, our MG0012 is tough but quite. Perfect for hunters. It also grinds gingerroot. Standard equipment includes a grinder attachment with a 3/16" plate, X-knife (no. 12), deep stainless steel feed pan and poly stomper. As with all Univex products, the MG0012 is engineered with maximum price / value for years of trouble-free performance. This unit is UL listed.
