Can you provide a bit more information? Which jigsaw? And part numbers or a picture with where the missing parts are supposed to be.

75601Bruce,

First off welcome to the Shopsmith Forum. Why ShoptimusPrime is asking for more information is there have been 2 Jig Saws made for Shopsmith tools. The first was only for use on the Shopsmith Model 10E and 10ER in the late 1940's to early 50's. The other is the Jig Saw made for the Mark Series Shopsmith's and can be used separately also. They are very different and need different replacement parts. Both of these Jig Saws are out of production and replacement parts generally have to be found used.

The first Jig Saw shown below is one for the Model 10E and 10ER. It is the second version made with changes to the main housing.

The Jig Saw shown below is the one for the Mark Series tools and stand-alone use on a motorized stand. The one shown is painted in the "Greenie" colors as it was when new in 1957. Later they were painted in the "Goldie" colors and lastly the Shopsmith gray color.

If you can describe what you need in more detail and even attach pictures, we can help guide you. Since, as I stated before, these Jig Saws are out of production you will likely have to find replacement parts on the used market. That sometimes requires waiting a long time for them to show up for sale. Shopsmith has few if any new replacement parts left in stock for the Jig Saw shown in the lower picture above.
