SS Scroll Saw #555272
I have recently inherited this Scroll Saw from my Dad who passed away and he got it from my Grandfather when he had passed. I have searched through his shop and can not find any documentation on this particular piece of shop equipment. How can I find an Owners Manual for such an old piece? My internet searches have come up pretty empty.
The following link should be of help to you:billm64052 wrote:I have recently inherited this Scroll Saw from my Dad who passed away and he got it from my Grandfather when he had passed.

555272 is a stand alone Scroll saw, not a jig saw. I do not think there are significant differences other than some table and blade mounting and color changes. The blade mounting is available as an upgrade. A current manual should be adequate except for those areas. If you have ? regarding those areas not covered in a newer manual, we are here!

A tip you may want to pass along to whomever is saying remove the part from the site.admin wrote:I have been the webmaster here for a couple years now and when a part becomes obsolete I am simply instructed to remove it from the site, as it is removed from the catalog.
A part can become obsolete, in the parts sales sense, when it is no longer available or it has been replaced with a newer desgin.
Standard practice is to leave the NLA parts on the site, turn off the ability to purchase, and mark as NLA. For superceded parts, you also want to leave those parts on the website, turn off the ability to purchase, and mark as "Superceded by part #1234567" with a link to the new part.
This resolves the problems noted in this thread. Customers searching for an old part number know to either order the new one or confirm they need to go the used route.

Well said!
FWIW, Admin does not need the 'extra work to implement this but that is a good objective(now about all the already 'NLA' parts . . .
