Thanks

Dave, Ed and Russ or others

Below is a picture of everything that I found in my father-in-law's shop that I thought was associated with the Mark 5. I didn't find any type blade guard, riving knife or dust collection port. Perhaps they didn't have those in 1954? Is there any item missing that I ...

Dave, Ed and Russ,

Thanks for the welcome and help.

I do have a question for Russ. Do you know if the original style saw blades will work with the quick change adapter upgrade? I have several packages of them: for example part numbers: 555264, 555263, 555262 ...

I joined the forums yesterday and have been browsing around trying to figure where to begin. I am reading the NEW OWNER and MARK V threads. There is so ...

Thanks for the replies Ed and Russ.

Ed, what reference literature did you order?

Russ, thanks for the information. The upgrade kits sounds like a much better route to go than trying to find the original parts. I like idea of the quick change. I think I'll go ahead and order it and get use to the ...

I just inherited the same model scroll saw (555272) along with a green painted Mark V from my father-in-law. The scroll saw is missing one of the Blade Clamps and the Mounting Block Assembly.
