Modification for Sears 23611 Scroll Saw



 I decided to try to modify my $25.00 Sears Scroll saw to use it for marquetry. I found a wonderful blade-holder kit (see below). I installed it and found that it worked very well.

A new saw table was made so that hardwood support could be given to one's veneer by sliding two pieces from each side of the table, meeting at each side of the blade.

I also found a perfect-fitting plastic pulley to be used with a round belt to the sewing machine motor.

Here is the source for the pulley:

Price for a CP PO-5.0 (1) set screw is $ 11.51
Lead time will be 1 weeks after receipt of purchase order.

Not sure of the exact shipping cost to Ottawa, Ontario.  That is usually calculated at the time of shipment.  We generally ship via UPS.

Please let me know if there is anything else we can do for you.

Best regards,

John
