I am looking at making my own sausages. I was hoping to get some input on sausage stuffers. I have seen them from northern tool for around 35 and seen more on ebay for 90. I am thinking that for just starting out a manual stuffer would be fine , but I dont want to get one that will fall apart on the first use.Any input is appreciated. Thanks
 
Get the vertical stuffer. I think Northern Tool has a fairly cheap one. They're a lot more efficient than the horizontal ones. The knock on northern tool is that it has plastic gears. A few guys on this board have it, I think.
 
Thanks for the input guys , I appreciate it . Where is a good place to get the sausage casings?
 
I was told by the guys at the sausagemaker.com that they tried selling the 5 lb vert stuffer with metal gears and the work poorly. I guess the gears bind up and become hard to turn. They claim the nylon gears out preform metal.

My thought was to buy a cheap 5 lb and if and when it goes I'll be ready for a better unit.

Do not buy a simple press one and try not to use the grinder as a stuffer.
