Cheapest grinder for raw feeding?

Can anyone recommend a cheap grinder that can handle bone? We're trying to transition our cats to a raw diet, and the only recommended grinders I can find are in the states. Thanks!

This really depends on the bone. Ebay have a selection of commercial grinders available that can handle bone. Some people use this one

Meat Mincer 60-80kg Per Hour - Item Code: 50212SPEE

However, no matter which one you choose bone quickly blunts the knives and you need to make sure that you have them sharpened regularly otherwise the food starts to get hot in the grinder.

We'd be using chicken wings. How often would the blades need to be sharpened? I read somewhere that you can use a hand crank one, if you're strong?
