variable speed delter scroll saw

[pixy]

I bought my delter saw some time ago and recently e nuts that fasten the moater down have been coming loose.This is happening on a regular basis. can anyone tell
me what might be the cause of this please Regards Mal (Hull)

 

[Claymore]

Is it the bolts that attach the motor to the saw body?

 

[pixy]

yes

 

[Claymore]

have ya tried lock nuts on it? or maybe threadlock?

 

[scrimper]

As Claymore says thread lock might help but is the saw vibrating a lot making the bolts get loose?

Thanks guys will used thread lock

While Loctite or similar might stop them coming loose, you really want to be finding out why it's happening regularly, before something else comes loose or breaks.

use a split washer as well
