As a child, I remember using a hand cranked model that attached to the kitchen table. I thought it was fun, dropping cut up veggies in the hopper and turning the crank that fed the veggies through one of several supplied disks with holes of various sizes. It was made of heavy metal.
You could grind meat(s) with it as well, but that took more power than I could supply at that age. But you had control over the meat/fat content for meatloaf, burgers or sausage. It even had a tube attachment that you could attach to force your meat/veggie mixture into casings (cleaned animal intestines) for sausages. Hence the name - forcemeat.
