I have a Makita SJ401 scroll saw. The blade slips from the top blade holder no matter what I do. I went to parts place and the upper blade holder consists of basically 2 pieces. The upper blade holder and the upper blade pad that the set screw runs thru and pushes against the blade to hold it tight. So.... I thought about just replacing the upper blade holder assembly but the upper blade holder is discontinued but the pad is still available. I hate to just replace 1/2 of the assembly. Any ideas if there is another brand that may work on this saw? I tried scuffing the blades etc. but no luck. as soon as the wood hits the blade the blade slips and have little tension, which is causing me tension;-)
