I built my own apple grinder from a 6" diameter x9" long cylinder of ash wood from the firewood pile which I turned on a lathe and put stainless steel screws in with the heads sticking out about 1/16" or so. I mounted the cylinder on a 5/8 shaft I had around from an auction and got flange bearings at the hardware store and made a box out of hickory to fit the cylinder. I drive it with a belt and a 1/3 hp motor, and I made a wood hopper for the top so it feeds itself and doesn't shoot the apples back out the top. There are lots of photos online of things like this, it only took about 3 hours to put together and it is pretty fast by my standards, it will finely grind enough apples to make about 2 gallons of cider in 10 minutes or less. You want to grind the apples as small as possible for maximum cider yield. I got an old press and grinder for $150 at a yard sale last fall, the grinder was worn out but the press is still working fine. Zach
