6 year old Powermatic III I've made over 150,000 thanks for showing how to open it up. I bet I had a pound of fine tobacco inside. Saved $175 thanks to you. I think getting the fine tobacco out saved it. Definitely using a screen prior to adding tobacco to get rid of fine tobacco would be a plus for longevity.
Note: Wanted to add this. Before I took mine apart the indicator for how tight the tobacco is packed stopped working some time ago. After removing all that tobacco dust the indicator started working again. For the first few I made I noticed that if you have the display to the lightest setting it actually packs the cigarettes tighter. So move the indicator all the way to the right and adjust from there. I was starting to think all my cigarettes were going to be packed too tight to smoke. So far more than 150,000 and counting, I'm thinking this may reach another 150K.

Thanks so much for your demonstration! My machine seems to have internal jam keeping spoon stuck inside, I bet this will fix the problem.

Fine dust will cause the spoon to jam and will need clearing gently with the wire and brush provided with the machine be careful the spoon is not strong and easily damaged.
See my vid on screening tobacco do this and no more jams. ua-cam.com/video/zgRAzUshOMI/v-deo.html

@@obi1kahnobee549 Be careful around the tip of the cigarette holder it is easily bent. I used a drill and a very small bit to loosen the packed tobacco.
