Hello, I am fairly new to scroll sawing and I am currently working with an 18" Porter Cable variable speed scroll saw that is being lended to me. I've used it for probably 6 hours or so, but today I went to use it and I was struggling to get my tension correct with a plain end blade and something broke. Whenever I try to run the machine, the tension instantly releases. This has broken two blades, and no matter what I do I cannot tighten or loosen the tension and get it to hold when I run the blade. I am not sure if I broke it by applying too much tension earlier on, or how to fix it because I do not know exactly what is wrong. I am waiting for a response from Porter Cable, but in the meantime are there any suggestions or does anyone know what I did wrong/what piece I broke? Everything looks like it is not broken, but I do not completely understand the mechanics behind the tension of a scroll saw.

I have a question about the blower hose on the Delta 40-694 saw i bought recently.Did any of you had to attach the blower hose?.Mine was not attached.I was unable to attach it.So I did a McGuyver and used some black tape,it is working great.I contacted Delta for a replacement.Hoping I would get the whole thing,the hose and the attachment on the bottom.Gave them the parts #.All I got was the hose.So Back to my question,did anyone else have this problem?
