Scroll Saw

Post by ChrisNeilan »

I just acquired a Scroll saw (the type you mount on the Mark V or 7). I plan on buying the upgrade for the blade blocks. Anyone have a source for the manual? Its the grey one. While on the subject, what beside the color, is the difference between the grey and teal versions?

In addition to the color, the blade mount and the tensioning parts were upgraded and the cover over the upper blade mount.

I have the gray model. It is about twenty five years old and has been upgraded a couple times. The quick change mechanism for the blades is the only change that I think was worth the cost.

There may be more than these two but here are links to the two that are being advertised by Shopsmith.

I believe the first link covers it all- except for the critical change from gray to teal.
