Question:i recieved a scroll saw as a gift.. and i have to make a school project now and my brother broke it and i don't have a clue as how to fix the blade ( i need somebody to tell me how to put a brand new 5" blade in)
Answers:
I would look to the owners manual, but generally there are two kinds. One is pinless and the other pin. There has to be some sort of clamp on both the top and bottom and a tensioning system for the arm and blade. Easy the tension on the arm by backing off the tensioner. Then find out if what you have is pin pinless, release each of the clamps, may take a screwdriver, and take out pieces. Buy several blades this is not the last time you will break one, and put the new one in reversing the clamping process, Tension the new blade so that you need to push on the side a little stiffly to get it to bend.
I don't Know what brand of saw you are referring to so lets try this. First make sure the saw is unplugged. The next thing you do is go to the end of the blade and look to see what kind of screw is holding it in. This could be a straight /flat head screw or a hex head 6 sided opening. for this you will need a Allen wrench. loosen the screw and take out the old one. Take the new blade and insert it in the slot. there go fella. remember to where eye protection and good luck. oh ya lefty loosen righty tighty
Please please please do the correct research. Get the manufacturer name and look up the instructions on their website. Not all blades replace the same and by not going to manufacturers specifications and instructions causes a MAJOR safety risk. By your definition I cannot tell if you have a scroll saw, a band saw, a skill saw or what. There is no "scale" saw, and a scroll saw has a long blade that makes a loop inside of the housing.
