Louis Tellier N4047C Manual Horizontal Sausage Stuffer

First the stuffer wasent packed, it was thrown down in the box upon the plastic tubes,causingone of them to bend and another to be totally crushed.Trying to assemble the thing it was clearthat the lever didnt fit into the groove. 2 mm of metal had to be grinded away from both the groove andlever before it could be assembled.Then the piston was totally stuck just a few centimeters down.The reason for this was that the inside surface of the cylinder was like coarse flintpaper grade 40.It had to be polished for hours with grade 800 before it was smooth enough to let the piston through.It only works with olive oil inside. When stuffing with the small tube (lamb casings) half the meat is pushedbackwards. It works allright with medium tube and hog casings, but has to be firmly secured to the table with a wise. Living in Denmark, shipping costs almost equals the price of the "stuffer" so I could either throw it in the binor do as outlined above. Dont buy !
