Default Burraway parts

Hey folks:

I broke the blade in my Burraway a few days ago and lost the blade retaining pin, so I called Cogsdill to replace them today. They have a minimum $50 order! When I broke the shaft a few months ago I just bought a whole new unit to make the minimum, but I sure as heck am not going to buy a new unit each time I break a blade. I am wondering whether this tool is worth the money. It works great, but seems a little fragile.

Does anyone know where I can get parts for this thing less expensively? Are there distributors?

I also spoke to the Ezburr people, but their tool is even more expensive ($68) and they also have a minimum order of $50.

Thanks for any advice/help.

Antony

MSC Industrial supply has the individual blades, They were about 5 bucks each, last year.

Getting that compression pin in and out of there is the hard part.
