Question for sausage makers

[Pine Donkey]

I have made sausage for years in many different flavors and sizes. I use the sausage stuffer tube in my grinder, but would like to simplify the process. My question is; does an upright style sausage stuffer make the process easier? Any input is appreciated.

I've got the 5lb LEM stuffer and I much prefer it over the grinder attachment. I wouldn't say it simplifies the process, but it does help with quality control.

Does it come down to the on off switch? I saw a foot switch you could connect seemed like it might make it a little easier. The problem I had was having to stuff and reach for the switch quickly before my casing popped.

Foot switch would probably help, but the control of the hand crank works better than any on/off device. Especially with the stuffer mounted in place.
