    Pinions on Hammer thicknesser table

    I turned the crank of the thicknesser too much on my Hammer C3 31 and busted the small conical pinion at the end of the crank shaft. Ordered a spare from Felder and discovered I'm not as strong as I thought I was. These things are made of plastic.
    Do all Hammer machines come with plastic pinions?

    My C3-31 also has a plastic one (although it's a very hard plastic). I assume it's designed that way on purpose as a "sacrificial failure" part.
