Craft 400 pfz scroll saw

[Timber-Derek]

Hi All
I'm new to this wood working game, I've picked up the above saw and it works well but it's missing the blower and bag, can anyone tell me how effective these are for dust removal, is there a way of making something as effective with out spending!..
Also what's the best wood working blades for this.
Thanks

Thanks for that. I could see that working. After closer inspection there's aair bag in place so I going to order the pipe and see how I get on.

Make sure the rubber air bag isn't split first. The best thing is a cheap aquarium pump.

Brian, I bought this one ... https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00 ... UTF8&psc=1

I also bought these t-pieces https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00 ... UTF8&psc=1

I teed both outlets from the pump into one tube and it blows away as much dust as I can make.

If you need a t-piece, let me know, don't buy any. I have spares here I'll never use.

+1 for the aquarium pump idea.

Mine doesn't look much like the one in the pic above, but it works very well, is almost silent, has variable speed, and cost roughly the same (equivalent) as shown.

I already had a length of neoprene tube handy, but if you don't, and the pet shop doesn't either, try any model aero/car shop who should have loads of both neoprene and silicon tubing in various bore sizes for sale by the yard/metre.

Thanks for that, I have checked the bag and it hasn't a split, but I'm not sure how much puff I'll get as when hover my hand over the hole were the air pipe screws into I can't feel anything, the price is actually more than that pump, which isn't an issue but I'm heading for the fishy pump anyway. Thanks.
