Fixed air blower on Craftsman saw - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

I had bought this saw at a clearance sale and didnt get around to using it for a few years and when I did, noticed that it didnt blow any air. I had read that other people had this problem and went around curing their problem by using an aquarium air pump. I decided to see what was ailing on my saw and to make a long story short, it was missing the "bellows" which cost me the grand total of $3.56. The blower now works pretty well, clearing the line even at slow speeds.

Good fix Greg, and I'm a bit surprised at how cheap you got off!

It was that cheap cos I fixed it myself. If I had taken it in for them to fix it would cost at least $50.

Hi Greg. Actually, I was referring to the price of the part. But yea, its outrageous what repair shops can charge!
