Hi,

Some times a picture is worth a 1000 words but in this case you might want to just look at this chapter in the online PTWFE which can be found at:

Figure 15-1 (You can click it to enlarge it)

(In case you just want the simple answer it mounts to the lower output).

They are 42" x 1"(or 1/2"). SS sells them and they ARE reasonable!

Start with the assorted set(s). Then YOU can decide which is best for what YOU do. The finer grits are normally used for sharpening.

I have a chance to purchase a stand alone scroll saw for 200. Looks to be in excellant condition. Are you saying they will no longer be made? I thought this may be a great purchase but now I am wondering. Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks,
