I have a cabelas 1/2 HP grinder. Works great on the Large plate that comes with it,7mm, but when I go to grind the meat again with the smallest plate that comes with it 4.5MM, it really boggs down. It takes way way longer to grind and you have to put alot more pressure on the supplied stuffing stick to force the meat in the grinder. Was wondering if this is normal or am I doing something wrong, all three times I have used it i have had this problem...thanks.......
