Is the adjustment hub on this piece plastic? That seems to be the biggest complaint with the HF version which may just be a knock off of this unit.

This was worth every penny. The everything is steel on this item. I use it a lot and no problems.

The only thing that is plastic on this unit is the adjustment knob, the rest is low grade steel. Not a bad roller for the price and for flat stock only. 1/4 Square will not fit in the groove.

This one is made of metal; it has a plastic knob (which could be replaced by any allen set knob) which attaches to a metal screw.

If I understand the question, the adjustment hub would be the piece that rests in your hand and is rotated when making an adjustment. It is made of plastic. The screw shaft and adjustment assembly are made of steel.

No. It is fixed speed and of bad quality ... at least the one I got. ... After of 20 hours operation the unit started overheating and a bearing noise developed. The unit feels robust, but it's lifespan is questionable ... needs to be seen.

The picture shown looks a little bit different than the one I bought, but mine is mostly plastic except for the crank,gears, and strainer basket I've been happy with it so far and I've probably used it 10 times now.

Yes it is, I love mine! I unknowingly purchased a plastic one as well so totally understand your concern.

I think you are talking about Vertical adjustability. I do not have this 'exact' unit but this one looks to have 90 degrees or more adjustability to it.

You won't get any help from the seller. You will have to modify the plastic "stem" that this lever attaches to on the transmitter case. You have to trim it down quite a bit or else it is not possible to install this part. Also they are showing the lever installed incorrectly in the photo. If you install it in that position, you have almost no travel for actual adjustment. I wish I could attach photos to show what I am talking about here. The part will work if you take the proper steps to install it, but there are no instructions with this part.

I received same components as Mr. Steven G. There were 2 small foams for fixing purposes I suppose that I did not use and an suitable hex wrench. I have 2 units working OK 24/7. Good luck .

I dont know which exact model it is but I bought one previously and its absolute garbage, went through both plastic gears during the first few uses. Would not recommend buying under any circumstances. Buyer beware.

looks the same, however, be careful when tightening the screw the unit is plastic and will break if to tight.

I now own the Drive Medical #10273, which has the exact same pedals/handles as this model. Those two plastic parts have no ball bearings, not even any bushings; just a sloppy fitting through-hole to clear the 7/16" dia steel crank that they "spin" relative-to. Consequently the excessive play produces a click-clack noise.

The head is plastic. That's the only part I found. The faucet works OK. The thing I don't care for is, the spout is so high up and by the time the water reaches the sink bottom it's going very fast and suddenly you realize you've turned it up too much, it's splashing all over the place. It doesn't have a very fine hi - low adjustment. I've had mine in for 6 months and have yet to get used to adjusting it.

It is indeed confusing. It looks like the basic unit is rebranded and sold by different providers. Unless you really need something at this price point, I'd look elsewhere; I have a couple of these and they're just not very good bench supplies. Extremely bad quality manufacture, lack of fine adjustment, and poorly calibrated.

No, when I tried to adjust it, the plastic broke. It's of no use to me, but it is too much trouble trying to return it. It is poorly made with very cheap material.

I'm having the same problem & haven't been able to adjust it as yet. Brand new unit. Not happy.

Dear Eugene, thanks for your attention on LEPOWER products. The plastic hub's cross section size is: 12mm*7mm. Hope my answer would assist you further. Regards.

I think the question is do they have the raised center hub (kind of a collar an inch high) with the slots in it? There are some of they trays that come without that and are kind of floppy in the middle. The FD-75A comes with the weak, cheapo trays.
