Hello, i am scrollsawer from Finland and i have a problem with my old Delta.
The back link and the both scr:s are worn out and there is just to much loose.

If someone has these parts i would like to buy them, and becouse the parts are very small it could be send on a letter.

Underneath is the part list and the partnumbers i need is; Link 24,Special scr64 2times.

G'day Jesmo,
I too have an old Delta, which I haven't used for awhile now. Those same parts wore on mine. What I did to give the old girl a bit of extra life was to cut a piece of 6mm steel rod about 5 mm long and hammer into each of the holes, pinning it out. I then re-drilled the holes for parts 64 and replaced them with High tensile bolts.

If you know someone that's handy with a welder they could fill the holes and then you could re-drill them, this would last longer than my solution.

Another suggestion. get a couple of small ballbearings, or oilite bushings and drill the holes out so that you can press in the bearings. Just make sure the iner diameter of the bearing is the same as the pin.

Thanks for the answers! Yes i had something like this in my mind but offcourse its easier just bolt new parts, but lets see. I could buy these
parts from finland but the price is ridiculous (50$) i just cant
buy those

I just gave one of those saws away a couple weeks ago. The fellow I gave it to bought a new DeWalt. I'll see if he will part with it and if so will cannabilize the parts and send them to you. It might take a week or so to get in touch with him.

I just repaired the saw, Delta waited for one year

My friend welded the holes on the back link and i just drilled new 5mm holes and i replaced old screws with new bolts that are using 5mm threads.
