Is there a better air hose replacement for a delta 40-560? My original keeps breaking at the attachment point and it's getting too short.

I grew tired of repairing the dust blowing system on my scroll saws and tried other options. I used air from my compressor but still had issues with the hose directing the air similar to your problem. I tried a vacuum cleaner for dust removal and it worked OK but I killed more than one shop vac this way. I now have an $8 hair dryer pointed at my saws, mounted on the bench or on a floor lamp and that works very well for me.

Great idea Jim. It is amazing what you can come up with when you put your mind to it.
Cheers

That's a great idea Jim. I repaired it again by removing the cracked piece on the end and reinstalled it. We will see how long it lasts. I found instructions from Steve I think from last summer.

Another option is the air pump from a fish tank

Not really a very good answer to your question, but a fellow in our scrollsaw club has an old velocipede scrollsaw. When he cuts on it, he blows through a drinking straw to clear the saw dust. I tried it one time. Between pedaling the saw and blowing the dust, you get pretty winded.
