Did you all ever replace the bottom gear? what is the life span? I prefer to buy a product that is backed up by its creator/producer

Its not designed right due to the gear does not come to a point to grab the wire through its flat.

We purchased the manual coppermine approximately a year ago. The gear is working perfectly. We have not had a reason to replace it yet. We did purchase an extra blade at the same time we purchased the coppermine and will have to change it out soon. Otherwise it is working without problem.

No, it was never changed.. it's not being used as before.. but it was used very often for a very long time and all gears / blades are still operational.

Jeffrey, Did you buy this and did it worked? I had the same model as you and mine died today. I need to replace it and use the same built in kit but there don't seem to be any with the exact same dimensions!

i read a post saying simply turn the broken gear 180 degrees and reinstall. my wife broke the handle on mine , (she could break a cannon ball). i've had no luck finding a parts supplier, (just ordered another machine). i will say the "powermatic 1 manual" is the best tube loader money can buy.

I do not, but the thing is actually sold through Harbor Freight. You might could contact them for replacement parts.

I know this post is super old, but I am sending mines back tomorrow. I heard something rambling around when I got ready to use it for the first time. I didn't think anything of it. Although, it was a little hard to connect. THAT SHOULD'VE TOLD ME SOMETHING WAS WRONG RIGHT THERE. Then, recently, I picked it up and it fell apart. I found all the pieces, and put it back together. I was still having trouble connecting. Then, it dawned on me that the spring was missing upon arrival. I thought I could live with the faulty transmitter...but I can't. Hopefully, they send me a better one.

I had the same problem after a year and a half. Mine was of course out of warranty. Was sickened. Loved the sound, portability ect... I wont buy again.

I know they sell them for a few bucks. Could it be loose in the gear mechanism? You could always return it too back to Amazon

hot rod deville stomp box ? or the amp....>? i was hoping for the older version of the pedal, as thats the photo that you posted for the item was. they reissued the pedal from mexico i belive with the newer houseing. the new one is stronger. unless you are offereing me a free pedal then theres no use of me trading or buying a new one. The pedal is already on my pedal board. thanx tho :)

I am sorry that I cannot help you on this one. We have used ours about every day for 9 months without a hitch. It sounds like the drive gear has come unhitched from the motor. Did you ever try to run it while something was jamming the cutter/blender? Sorry I cannot help more.

By Brandon K on September 15, 2012 After maybe grinding up 20 or so pounds of pork, the machine started to make internal noises and ceased to work. After pulling it apart I found cheap plastic gears that were stripped of their teeth. I can't find replacement parts online and I emailed manufacture no response yet. My advise spend some the extra cash and buy a STX, because that is what I will be doing soon. I'm sure if I get another set of gears it will only be a matter of time before they strip too.

Uh.. ye-ah! Seriously, this things dont last forever. What's the alternative.. get it repaired? Good luck with that. I'm not being a smart ass.. I'm realistic. At the price you originally paid, a unit with reparable parts would be 2 -3 times more expensive.

o, even the aftermarket tones were rather iffy for this machine so doing it yourself is definitely a Buyer Beware situation. I went through two of these machines, good unit but once you start having to replace the drum or imager you might as well toss the unit and buy something new and modern.

I'm looking for the same one too! Can anyone help? Could you find a replacement?Thanks.

Jono... would you want to buy mine. It's practically brand new with... a double bass kick pedal. Let me know.

Hi Claudio, Did you purchase through Amazon? Yes, we can sell you the base but I'd love to see if you're under warranty. Did you order under "Claudio Pinto?" Thanks!

Contact the company for a replacement, sounds like a defect. I never had that issue with mine.
