Great all-purpose unit that grinds and squeezes apples, grapes and other fruits and veggies. Features the Apple Eater The most popular feature of the Homesteader Press & Grinder is the powerful “Apple Eater” grinding attachment that is easily mounted and unmounted for using separately. Apples are pressed and ground at the same time! The Apple Eater comes mounted on the back of the press so that the pulped fruit fall directly into the tub for squeezing. Rugged design will last for many, many years! Rugged designed is now made of maple hard wood for longevity. Each joint has been re-designed for a tighter fit– and is still notched and cross-bolted. The acme-threaded screw is 1 1/2″ diameter and 22″ long. It features a four prong top, so turning is easy! Built in the USA! Easy to use! The acme screw presses against our updated pressing disk.
