    Thermadorian vibrations...

    I have tried large raw steak bones many many times. My 73 Waste king SS8000 has only a 1/2 H.p. motor in it. The Flywheel has a 5 pound weight bolted to the bottom of it and so that might be why it never jammed on me. It ground it up pretty fast also. That disposer cost 293 bucks in 73 price tag...
