WalkerD Posted January 1 Report Share Posted January 1 Hello, I'm new to scrolling. Sort of, I had a craftsman back in the 90's but it got broke when I moved to NC in 1995. Never replaced it. Got back into woodworking in 2016ish and have been collecting tools ever since. I bought an RBI 216 (Eagle) this morning, serial #355. It seems to be in decent shape except for a missing blade guard. Everything else is there, including a light kit. Need to buy some new blades and play with it a little. Any idea if the blade guard is available anywhere?

Scrappile Posted January 1 Report Share Posted January 1 Welcome to the forum. That is a nice looking ventage RBI. Not sure where you will get a blade guard for that exact model. Could try EBay. Most scrollers remove the blade guard first thing or never put it on. I am assuming you are talking about the piece the sorta holds the wood down when scrolling.(?). Glad to have you here.

don in brooklin on Posted January 2 Report Share Posted January 2 Welcome from Brooklin, Ontario Canada. I think everyone takes off blade guard and looses it eventually unless RBI is any different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liz Weir Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 (edited) The current manufacturer of the Hawk machines is Bushton Mfg in Kansas. bushtonhawkstore@gmail.com, (620) 562-3557. Tell them your model & serial number and they can tell you what is available. Going by the serial number, yours is a pretty old machine. My Hawk 226VS's date from 1994 & 2000; these machines are both still fully supported by Bushton and parts are available, so yours might be too.
