I have the meat grinder, but I'm not sure about the veggie grater or the 
fruit press.  I've never tried to put nuts through the meat grinder, but 
it's worth a try...it does a wonderful job of grinding all sorts of 
meat, including liver!  (I grind pork, beef and liver together to make 
my version of a terrine.)
