ok so i will try this again. on a suggestion from larry. I have just received an older craftsman scroll saw that uses a pin blade set up. I wish to try a spiral blade but cannot find one for a pin set up. i have check many places for a spiral pin but to no avail. i have also looked into converting to a plain blace but have not found one that gets good reviews. any help out there?

thanks all for the welcomes. i hope to gleen much from all the knowledge here.

i am a newby also. have worked in a wood shop many years ago with special ed students as a teacher's aide but no scroll saw. received an older model for christmas. had to clean the contacts and plug before it would run as it sat for 4 yrs in a grage in ok without use. I am excited to learn more about scroll sawing and hoping to make this a big hobby besides my motorcycle trips. I teach math at the high school level. Hope to be able to get lots of tips and info here.

i just received a craftsman scroll saw it is an older model 5722470, it uses a pin blade, i am looking for a spiral blade for this model, does anyone know where i can order one or how to modify the blade or machine to accept the plain blades. i have checked on amazon, and ace hardware and on the craftman website. also i am in need of a manuel. does anyone have an idea
