Parts for Gerber Fastrack 550 plotter...

[rba828]

Need help....The clips on the tool head that hold the knife in place have both been broken. It sounds like I am not the only one this has happened to...I did a search on ebay and didn't find anything, although I am not very familiar with that site anyways so maybe one of you could help me find parts. right now I am getting by with a zip-tie holding the knife in place, and it is doing alright for now, but I suspect not for long. Anyone have a solution for me or know anyone that is selling parts to this machine...We are willing to pay the price. Gerber no longer sells parts for the Gerber Fastrack 550.

How'd they do that?

Just a quick question and or comment. Not to sound sarcastic, but I have a 650 and was wondering how you break the clip that secures the blade-holder? I don't want to make that mistake too.

I was on vacation and my replacement was walking past the machine and apparently her jacket caught on the little claw ripping it off. They are pretty brittle plastic I think.
