26hare Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 I am using OLSON blades i got at a local wood and parts dealer. My question is with my Craftsman scroll saw, how do I get the blades into those really small lines on my work... The blades have those pegs that hold them in place and I drill holes in wood to do work. But some times the lines are smaller that the drill bit or peg spots will fit in. ????

sullyscroller Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 Sounds like your you are talking about pinned blades , so my next question is will your saw use straight blades without the pins ? If you let us know the model i'm sure someone can let you know if it will take the straight or "pinless" blades. sully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FD Mike Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 Check with Franks if he can help you to get new clamps for the saw. http://www.pozsgaidesigns.com/ FD Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken O Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 The craftsman saw I have will accept pinned OR pinless blades. Should work fine if you can get some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 26hare, if your saw won't take the pinless blades you can drive the pin out of your blades. Insert the blade into the drilled holes. Replace the pin with a safety pin if there is room. Much easier if you can get blade clamps that will accept pinless blades. I believe Craftsman sells a conversion kit to change the pin type clamps to pinless for some Craftsman saws. Good luck with it. Mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
