Replacement Bamix Blades

[BigE]

I just bought a Bamix on eBay. Ridiculous deal, which was a little too good to be true. It came with the whisking and beater blade, but no chopping/mincing blade.

Going on to the Bamix website, they reference a West Coast company through which you can get them. This is the same company you get if you go to Amazon.

Fine, but either route leads to a $25 tab for a single blade. Seriously?

Is there another option people have used in the past?

Try Culinary Parts Unlimited. They are on line and have thousands of parts.

I dropped mine in my heavy duty Kitchenaid disposal. Wow! It almost destroyed the disposal. It is a real tool and worth the money.

Try pleasant hill grain (online at http://www.pleasanthillgrain.com/bami...). I tk they sell them for closer to $10-$15 (?), and they provide great customer service. Just be sure they wrap the blades well before shipping - you should ask them specifically to do that.
