Question on the scroll saw
by: Matt

I was wondering how you like the scroll saw? There is one just like it for sale locally here and I can pick it up for $100. Says it is in working order and takes regular blades. I was wondering if anyone out there has had good experience with this vintage machine. I have not been happy with the quality of modern craftsman tools but this looks like an older/more solid piece of machinery. Thoughts?

I completed a 50% rebuild today

Craftsman 103.23380 Same model as yours. Mid to late 40's scroll/jig saw.. The rebuild is not hard to do but, make sure you take your time and not lose any parts ( I didn't, but, they are small pins)..

eMail me if you need any suggestions.. I would be glad to help.

Reconditioning Craftsman Table Saw
by: Ray

I was wondering if you found any information on reconditioning your saw. I started rebuilding mine (by blind faith).. I'll check back in a few days. Tues, APL 28, 2009
