TheBosh! Posted July 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 Thanks for the welcome guys n gals. as i said the saw i was given is a pretty old one ( but it's free...lol) one thing i did find when cleaning it all up was that the Bellows had disentergtated. i'm now on the look out for replacements. the saw is a Rexon SS16SA, i know its not a popular brand, in fact Rexon dont even make them any more, but the actual shape is very similar to a few other models, ( such as the record power amongst others ). i've searched online and on the rexon spare parts sites but can't find anywhere that sells the bellows can anyone help?? Thanks in advance Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loftyhermes Posted July 4, 2020 Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 When my blower packed in on my saw, I used a dogs squeaky toy (with the squeak removed) stuck the pipe into the hole and fastened it under the bottom arm. If you do this and it's your dog's toy, don't let the dog see you do it, it'll be all over the workshop and bench like a rash. Don't ask why I know this.

TheBosh! Posted July 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 Thats a clever idea lofty. if i cant find the bellows thats definatley one avenue i'll be looking at. i've seen others mention using fish tank pumps or even small hair dryers! thanks for the reply.
