I have had mine for more than 3 years now. never had an issue. I did upgrade the slave motor (one that holds the arbor.tire) to a Hudy truer motor and it is a rock solid truer. I had an issue with blowing a few fuses after the upgrade, but solved it. I looked the truer over after reading this, and was curious if the gearing for the cutter slide was plastic or metal... mine was metal.

Voltage doesn't blow fuses (well, unless you are trying to run 110 through it ) amperage blows fuses.

Does the Hudy truer motor drop right in the Integy Truer or does it require any modifications? Also with this upgrade rcfoolz, what did you do to solve blowing the fuses when running the Hudy motor? Thanks in advance guys.
