Hello, just picked up an old Shopsmith scrollsaw model 555272
on a stand (to add to my collection of Shopsmith tools, I guess). I have been searching for an owners manual, without any luck. Wondering if anyone would have a copy of one I could purchase. P.S. Is there any way to restore links that are now broken? I do see broken links to owners manuals and other links that look helpful.

davepk13,

I have a PDF I came across somewhere, but I don't recall where. It is too large (at 69.1 MB) to link here or even send in an email. That one covers both the Mark Mount and Stand Mounted gray Scroll Saws printed in 1988. I have the same printed Manual for my Mark Mount Scroll Saw. Unfortunately, the Scroll Saw Manual is not currently listed here on the Shopsmith website. Do check the Manuals list under the heading Learn and Manuals and Instructions from time to time to see if it gets added. Since the change in the Shopsmith website that list of available manuals has been growing to become more complete to what they had previously. At the same time many of the Manual and Instructions are now available to download for free.

With the changes on the website over the years many older links in posts no longer work. The information they linked to may no longer exist or no longer exist in the original location. The only way I know of the make a link in a post work again is for the person who originally posted it to edit their post with an updated link if one actually exists now.

Sorry I am not much help but if you have specific questions I can try to answer them. That may include posting a page from the manual to help explain something.

Thanks Russ, I have and will continue to check the manuals list on the Shopsmith website. I also realize that the previously linked information may not exist, but I thought I would try. Hoping that someone here may have a copy or be able to help me find one. Thanks again,

Dave

chapmanruss, do you still have the PDF of the Scroll Saw manual? My son recently got one and we can't find a manual anywhere. I could pass along a link to you to upload it, since the file is big. Since I'm a new member, it doesn't appear I can PM you.

I do have a PDF and a printed copy of the April 1988 Scroll Saw Manual which is for Models 555220 (Mark Mount) and 555272 (Stand Mounted) that are the original Gray Scroll Saws with the early Table like the ones shown below. There are differences between these Scroll Saws and later ones. The second version of the Gray Scroll Saw (third picture) had a different Table. Later the Teal Scroll Saw (fourth picture) replaced the gray one and has parts that differ from the Gray Scroll Saws.

The Scroll Saw above has the upgraded Blade Blocks that was standard on the Teal Scroll Saw.

With my printed copy of the Scroll Saw Manual I have the table change information sheet. The PDF of that is linked below. That file is small enough to be linked here.

My Scroll Saw is the Gray second Table version one from March of 1990. I have upgraded it to the Quick-Change Blade Blocks. It came with that April 1988 Scroll Saw Manual and the Table Change Information Sheet attached above. The other Scroll Saw I have owned and since sold was the same second Table version Gray Scroll Saw shown below.

Below is the Teal Mark Mount Scroll Saw.
