Howdy Folks,
I scored a Delta 40-694 from Offer Up for $150 that a lady had used twice and was too scared to continue. I'm new to scroll sawing, and everything had worked great out of the gate. Then I tried to cut a 2" block to rough out a shape for carving, definitely with the wrong type of blade for that. Ended up with the blade getting hung up, then all chaos ensued as it just slammed all over until the blade broke and I remembered where the off switch was. Since then, I can't seem to get new blades tight; when I put the blade on the tightening mechanism will bottom out and the blade has some play, whereas before this mishap I would have a tight blade probably at number 3. I went through the manual online and it doesn't really address this scenario.
Anyone have an idea what might be going on/what I can fix to get a tight blade again? Thanks in advance for any assistance, really appreciate it.
