Based on some research and advice from a few folks on here I got the 21" PS Wood saw. This evening, I took a couple of pictures of my 21" PS Wood that I got off CL over the weekend. It seems to be in fairly good condition. I believe it needs a new connector from the air line to the flex hose - and I will get it a new belt and bellows.
thank you. Sounds like the prior owner probably removed the hold down - as most of you do - and it probably got separated from the saw. The guy I am bought the saw at auction now with the hold down removed. I will not replace the hold down. I will get a new bellows and belt - as well as - a new connector for the flexible blower line. Probably less than $30 with shipping.
I bought a used PS Wood 21" scroll saw - it has been used but is in okay shape. The guy bought it from an auction and did not have room for it. Upon cleaning it up a bit I noticed that the compression fitting from the flexible nozzle and plastic hose is missing - I think I can order a new one from PS wood pretty easily. I will probably also order a new bellows and belt.
I also noted the work hold down is gone - are these really worth having or just more of a PITA?
Anything else I should check or service?
