Doug, spice grinders and meat grinders are two darned near totally
different beasts. You want to grind your chiles in a dedicated spice
grinder (the Mr. Coffee on sale @ $12-13 works well). Then add the
ground chili powder to the mix of meat and other spices going through
your Kitchen-Aid (that's what it sounds like you are looking at).

Check with the folks over on rec.food.preserving for lots more lore on
making your own sausages. It's not very hard - but, it is very
rewarding.
 
ENJOY!!!
