Dave M Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 Just wondering if anyone that owns a Craftsman has made any changes to the machine? I keep thinking of trying to make an adaptor for the blade lock, at least on top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 Mine came with a thumbscrew to tighten the blade clamp. My understanding the new ones don't have them. I'd imagine you'd be able to find a replacement with a thumbscrew at a hardware store or machine shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christo Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 I have a 16" Craftsman/vs saw with the thumb screw and I love it compared to an allen key blade change, which I was weened on. However, I did replace the bellows with an aquarium air pump, to clear the dust from the line, works much better. When I get a chance I'll take a few pics.

mouse Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 I changed the Allen bolt on the top clamp on my SIP for an indexable lever made a huge difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
