imp I dont know what to say about the dual purpose machines.
I think but not for sure the weston is maybe a number five plate size but not standard plates.
Not only do you have to think about size but mass.
If the grinder gets warm it will ruin the sausage buy melting the fat.
All of my grinder parts are put in the freezer to get cold first.
In other words you pay for what you get and there is no free lunch when it comes to this stuff.

BUT I dont see where maybe 5 to 10 pounds at a time wouldn't hurt as long as the meat is cut up small enough and almost froze.
10 pounds is about the size of a pork butt.
I normally cut my meat in long strips.
