555272 scroll saw upgrade

[Genie]

I would like to know if others are using the upgraded tool holder, and if so does it hold the smallest blades.
I am using puzzle blades that are .008 thick by .010-.015.

If you mean the upgrade to the scroll saw blade change upgrade, then yes I have one and love it. While I can't verify for sure about hose blade sizes, I can't see why it wouldn't. Its slick and basically 2 screws that lock the blade in place. You really cant go wrong IMHO. I wouldn't have my scroll saw any other way... but I also do a lot of intricate details with a great deal of inside cuts, as it should be on a scroll saw.

Bottom Line: LOVE IT!

This was my first project, I cannot even imagine... IMAGINE, doing it without the upgraded blade change... (It is a little sloppy, but it was my very first project, I have since gotten better, lol)

I wouldn't have guessed it was your first. Very nice work!

I checked with shopsmith, and they said it would work. I have one on order, but have to wait for a part to be made.
I am just getting started, but have done enough to know that the standard tool holder is rather awkward when you have to remove the blade often.

You won't regret it. I consider this upgrade a must have. So will you soon...

Can someone please send pics of what you're talking about??
I've just gotten my SS and am still restoring it but do want to use my jig saw.
I have the older big C snapped pipe one. Will this upgrade work on mine???
Thanks guys

There be three jig/scroll saws.

The older jig saw(c shaped pipe)[1].

The current scroll saw which is either a SS mount[2] or a standalone with internal motor[3].

The scroll saw has been altered several times(mostly minor) with one major upgrade(the blade tension/mount referred to) and was created in two colors(gray and the current 'teal').
