shylyn Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Is there a trick to removing the tension knob rod on a craftsman scroll saw? I need to replace it, but can't get it to budge. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toolbeltman Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 I would tap it with a small piece of wood (handle of a small wire brush size) to see if it breaks free...penatrating oil might help if tapping it doesn't work...I'm sure others will chime in with some sugestions. It might be a left hand thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revroberts Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 What is the model of the saw. I just received a Craftsman for Christmas and it is a counter clockwise release if that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shylyn Posted January 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Thank you for the input. I turned it in each direction so often, it was just extremely tight, so after soaking it with some WD40, and turning it counterclockwise, it finally broke free. Now to get it back together so i can get back to my projects. Thank You again!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
