I have an older model tubing cutter, an Eastman Imperial model 312-FB "Hi-Duty". I'm needing a replacement cutting wheel for it but I notice by going to the Eastman Imperial website that this particular model has been updated/re-designed and is now called the 312-FC. I called directly to the manufacturer to check whether a replacement cutting wheel for the 312-FC should fit my 312-FB, and best they could do was to tell me "I don't think so, I think it's different so your best bet would be to buy a new 312-FC". I'd rather not have to run out and buy a new tool if somehow I can acquire a new cutting wheel for this one. I don't do a lot of tubing cutting, so even being able to get just one wheel would make me happy. I checked around locally and of there's no place at all in my small town who even sells replacement cutting wheels. Any help/comments in regard to my issue here appreciated. Thanks

Reed still makes and sells cutting wheels, and if they have specs all you need do is match the axle Dia and the width of the hub.

The 312-FC cutting wheel is the same as the one in my 174-F Big Imp cutter, will get some dimensions so you can compare it to whats in your 312-FB.

Looks like you have your answer above! I must type quicker in future haha
