pin end pland to plain end blades?

[wood_workur]

Is there a way to allow a (craftsman pin end) scroll saw to take plain end blades? I really want to be able to use them, but I got the scroll saw and some bades from olsen for free, and I really don't use it enough to justify buying a new saw.

craftsman also makes a blade conversion kit to enable 16 inch scroll saws to accept both pin and plain end blades. it is available on the sears website for just at $25.00, and I Am sure you can get it at the retail locations also.

You can also check out Frank Prozsgai's site. He has retrofit items for many brands of saw.

I couldn't find anything on that website, and that sears part wouldn't help... I only have a 13" saw!!!
