Need Help What do I need to buy?

This broke today. Do I have to replace the whole cut head or can I just replace the cradle that holds the knife. See picture. This is a Summa D60

Whole cutting head. The cradle isnt available separately.

yep. mine broke last year, and I tried all types of epoxies to repair...

good and bad news...

bad news is it is a $600 to $700 part, good news is it isn't hard to change.

But you can write it off on your taxes. I forgot to do that this year, so I will attempt to take it off on next years taxes.

Lol, people tell themselves you can write it off as a way to make it feel better... Your spending the same amount of money.

When businesses file their income tax return, they are able to write off expenses incurred to run the business and subtract them from their revenue to determine their taxable income. So, if you spent money on dinner to take out a client, a portion of that expense acts as a write-off against your business income because the cost of the dinner is a business-related expense.

Tax write-offs simply lower an individual's or business's taxable income, thus the tax liability. For example, imagine your business earns $500,000 in revenue but spends $250,000 on payroll, utilities, rent, inventory and other operating costs. When you file your income tax, you report the income and the expenses, and as a result of the write-offs, your taxable business income is only $250,000.

Yep...the way it was explained to me was very profound: Write-offs don't put food on the table.

Yes, but if you dont go out to dinner you KEEP about 75% of what you dont spend.

UNLESS you do business as yourself and your on the verge of a tax bracket...like I was this year, when if I spent $5000 I would get back $10500... I actually didnt spend the $5000, I "spent" it on myself by putting in a 401k. So I saved 5k and it got me back 10k in tax refund.

And you still pay self employment tax on it anyway, so your tax "savings" are minimal

Can't see all of it but it doesn't look like it would be too hard to make out of brass or aluminum if someone in the shop is a handy with few hand tools. Might even check to see what a 3D printer service would charge.
