scroll saw

[Diane (Guest)]

Does anyone know where i can purchase a attachment for a tradsmen 16 inch 2 speed scroll saw. I was told i could but one for it that would allow me to use unpinned blades. Now it only uses pinned bladfes and it is causeing a problem with something i am trying to cut out, i drilled the holes with the biggest drill bit i could without messing up the design and the pinned blades will not fit into the holes...I have looked everywhere and have not found such an attachment....help

Diane,
You might ask in the scroll sawing forum at www.justwoodworking.com
That is one of the most active scrolling forums I have seen and the folks there are really helpful!
