 Craftsman Scroll Saw 103.23390
by: Dave

I was given one of these saws. I don't have a manual but I am able to glean a bit of information from this site and others. The blades are pin-less and my guess is that I will have to substitute something from the local hardware store. May even have to sacrifice a band saw blade.

I am interested in how this saw keeps tension on the blade. I know how my Hawk scroll saw keeps tension and it is very straight forward to adjust.

Enjoy your saw but don't drop it on your foot. It is very heavy.

 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.
