Hello All,
Is this the correct place to find out information on a saw I recently purchased?
It all started with this Ad on craigslist (the road was paved with good intentions). RBI scrollsaw like new condition.
Well, of course it wasn't like new condition, but the price was low, so I figured why not.
It's OLD and dirty. It's a RBI 220(-2) with the AC fasco motor.
It's missing the lower blade holder and I don't know what it looks like. It appears to be the old style "round type" blade holder. I looked on ebay and there appears to be only one listing selling them, so I'm hopeful that it's the correct type.
Would someone be able to confirm that I need the "round type" from the attached picture?
Also, are there any people or places that might sell replacement blade holders that I should check out? BTW the upper arm is a solid piece with no tension release in the front. Would it be worth replacing the arm or should I just get it up and running to see if I use this new toy often enough to justify some upgrades.
Finally, are blade holders just basically two pieces of aluminum stock held together with a set screw or cam to hold the blade or is there something more involved that I'm missing?
Thanks
