OK  ....what is a "quick release blade"? Does Olsen sell them?  I have had some "inadvertent release" blades but I doubt that is what you mean.

I am newbe here and this scroll saw thing.  I am sure there is a few guys and ladies here no what it is. I just finished watching a video on the quick release.

 

Good Luck with that !

I had to google the quick blade release and found a youtube video from the Poor Man's Shed. He used a cam locking system to create his own quick release blade system. Looks like it'd work alright if you keep the handle out of the way of your work.

I started out with a $69 Performax saw (They are not made anymore.) Went to Goodwill and bought a child size bicycle for (5 or $6 ??) and used the clamp that held the seat height. It was an improvement over using the T wrench to clamp the blade, but a little cumbersome.

Ok  I think I misunderstood.  You were saying a quick release blade and meant a quick blade release, I bet.
