Pipe cutter

Author: Kewl (CA)

I have a Hempe pipe cutter. It's made in the USA, 5/8-2-5/8. Had it for years but now it needs a wheel replacement.
I can't find a single thing on this company, let alone find a replacement cutter. Standard wheel don't fit and not sure which brand is compatible. Has anyone else run into this dilemma and found a solution?
Please let me know. Love to get my cutter back in business!
