Well I have good  news...or is it bad    news.  I went to the hardware store and found a machine nut (fine threads) and it's working great so I bought 3 for 15 cents, wife tagged along so I can't lie to her (not that I would  ) with only minor adjustments my saw is working and have already cut 4 ornaments.  Thanks for all the help.  Pete

I have a Dremmel scroll saw, in fact I have been researching a new scroll saw to buy. Everyone says get the Dewalt, but I noticed the Delta has a lift for the arm and it comes with the stand and the light for the same price. It does seem to be a copy of the Dewalt so the features must be the same.

 My Dremmel has a lot of miles on it and it seems to be laboring more than it use to. Think I might break down and spend some money.

yeah Dean the test seems to be to set a nickel on the table, if it stands your saw is pretty stable, well I put a nickel on my Dremel and it shoots across the room but then again I've had baling wire holding up my exhaust pipe and pennies in my fuse box for years

 Funny, I can't do the nickel test because my saw is tilted. The other test is a glass of water. If I did that, I would have to wear a rain coat!!
