The Kitchen Aid is fine for small grinding jobs once in a while, but will not hold up to a lot of grinding of semi-frozen meats for long periods. (I know from experience)
Your best bet is to get a good heavy duty grinder so you can regrind semi-frozen meat as some recipes call for.
I would suggest a
Weston or a
LEM in the commercial / heavy duty category. They cost a little more but you get what you pay for.
I have not seen the grinder, but some people here have said that Northern Tool sells a grinder for $99.00 that works well. I can't recommend it because I have not used it.
I use a Weston #22 and it serves me well.
