Gasket for older scroll saw
My gasket is leaking pretty badly on my older style scroll saw. I see that shopsmith only carries parts for the newer style machine. Is a gasket available for my saw, or do I have to make one?

Re: Gasket for older scroll saw
Any auto parts store has rolls of gasket 'raw' material.hawaii five-0 wrote:My gasket is leaking pretty badly on my older style scroll saw. I see that shopsmith only carries parts for the newer style machine. Is a gasket available for my saw, or do I have to make one?
Do not over look the air bleed hole.

Re: Gasket for older scroll saw
Advance Auto has both cork and rubber type gasket material. I bought a small roll of the cork material. I have heard some say that the gaskets always leak, but I had mine for a year, before I sold it and it never leaked. You need non-detergent oil to refill the reservoir, so I bought "air compressor" oil at Lowe's.
