I retired about 5 years from Learjet here in Tucson. I have always enjoyed woodworking and have followed in my Grand Dads and Dads foot steps.Woodworking now consumes most of my time around the house and keeps me out of trouble. A lot of my tools have come from both of them. I recently restored a Sears 6 inch belt sander built in the 1940's. Works great Had some time some finding some of the parts but it is now up and running with a little Yankee engineering. Am in the process of restoring my Grand Dad's Jig/Scroll saw. It also is a Sears which brings me to this forum. The saw is a Model 103.23150. I found the manual online which helped with the motor size for correct set up and a parts diagram, and lubrication instructions. The only thing lacking at present is the blades.
The blade is an X-1125, 5 inch I believe but the manual does not say. Did find that blade on Sears Parts Direct but they want $3.49 each. With shipping and all, that
is a little pricey. Does anyone own a saw like this and if so where do you get the blades. Have tried some pinned blades by removing the pins but either the shank is too small to clamp it in or the blade thickness is so small they just snap.
Thanks for any help.
