Excalibur 16 help

[scrollerpete]

For some reason the dust blower on 1 of my Excalibur 16 barely blow the sawdust off. Any recommendations on how to fix the problem will be appreciated

Sounds like the bellows has went bad. Raise the upper arm in the upper position and on the bottom side of the arm is a removable plate held on with a couple screws. I believe you can access it from there. Seyco should probably have the part in stock I would think. For what it’s worth my saw has a bellows on both the upper and lower arms so you might be able to take the lower one apart and switch it around to the upper one. They are used on both to keep the linkage from slapping the inside of the machine. 
 

When you put it back together you can make the air line come out on either side so you can swap sides too. 
 

Hope this helps.

I have a Ex-21 which I think is the same.  I took apart and there was lots of dust on the plate holding the bellows.  Blew everything off and it seemed to make a difference.

I blew out the hose too.  I couldn't get the bellows out easily so I just left alone.

Seyco does sell bellows for $20 but the question is how to get here.  King service centre may be able to get the part too.

Oops, I didn't realize you're in Canada.. I'm not sure where to source the part.. 

The Bellows is hard to get to come out sometimes.. because the smaller end is pushed up over a nub on the linkage arm mechanism and it can be a slight bugger to get the new one pushed back up over that nub too. Small amount of dish soap might help make it slide over that nub but usually in my case I get too much and then make the whole thing slick and then can't get a good grip on it to push it on, .
