Dan, Sorry about getting your name wrong. For some reason I ahd Ben on the brain. Thanks again. Barry

Ben, Thanks for the help. I ended up putting that end in boiling water for about 15 minutes and got it to snap on. I didn't do any damage to either end. I was beginning to think I would never get that thing back on. Thanks for your help. Barry

I have a Craftsman 16" Scrollsaw and somehow the aligator-style blower hose attachment has come off at the closest end to the saw base. The connection is a small ball shape that goes into the aligator-style hose. For the life of me I can't get it back together. I have tried putting one end in a vice and forcing the other end in to it but no luck. Has anyone else had this problem and was able to correct it? I've called Sears and they want to send the whole saw away for repairs and I thought that was overkill since it's just the hose part. Does any one have any suggestions? Thanks in advance. Barry
