I have just bought a second hand Delta 40-540 scroll saw. The saw works well just the air blower does not work, but that is not a problem. The owner had made a change to the bottom blade release, adding a nut and bolt to clamp the blade in place. This does away with the need for the special tool used to tighten the bottom blade clamp. This method works well but the problem I have is that I find it difficult to stop the blade from popping out when I cut. I have spent a lot of time on this but it will normaly take 4-5 attempts to get the blade holding tight enough so not to come out and buckle the blade in use. The top clamp has not been altered so this means that it is usualy the bottom that comes adrift, ...... very anoying
Can anyone suggest anything to help me with this.
